Former Lib & DTA, I think this comment from a 1914 report on the Balkans still holds true today:

Report of the International Commission to Inquire into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars

Published 1914 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

p.7 …in the Balkans … it is impossible to avoid the reproach of a party, if one does not take sides with it against the others …

One thing is for sure, one cannot logically argue for Kosovo independence under the KLA remnants and then demand that the Serbs be forced to remain as part of Bosnia.

That is the West's new Balkan paradox.

Mark, nice (but lame) attempt at painting the Serbs as pro-Nazi during 1941-45. Sure, there was a tiny percentage of the Serb population which collaborated...nothing new there geez even among the English there were Pro-Nazi loonies; ie Oswald Mosely

What you fail to note is the 20,000 Bosnian Muslims who fought gleefully in the SS. As a percentage of able bodies Muslims at the time, it is a huge percent. Roughly, Bosnian Muslims served as a higher percentage in the SS than did Americans in all branches of service during WWII.

In Kosovo and Metohija one found a similar story, in certain extremist areas, the Albanian population were zealous pro-Nazi's

In Croatia & Dalmatia, great masses of troops were sent all over Europe helping the master race

But the highest percentage of population devoted to Gross Deutschland was of course in Solvenia whose inhabitants became German citizens.

This stands in great contrast to the participation of Serbs who were murdered by the hundreds of thousands

Your characterisation is a insult to those millions of innocent who perished in the Holocaust
