These are wise words from someone so young.

However, it is troubling that you can espouse such an enlightened philosophy for post-Communist Yugoslavia and still make blunt statements like: "Serbs have not ethnically cleansed anyone...EVER."

But again, you're young. And history, of all disciplines, takes time to understand.

Best,

Zimdog

It seems I possibly made you some enemies in this thread, and for that I apologize. My reasoning as to why I feel it wasn't ethnic cleansing is due to the simple fact that to this day, Serbs, Bosnians, Croatians, and even Albanians still live in Serbia in relative peace. The Yugoslav war, in my opinion, seemed to be more based on territorial disputes, and not so much ethnical. And my reasoning that Serbs didn't initiate the war is due to the fact that they were the only ones that wanted the country to stay together...but I'm still trying to learn more.
