i'm gonna go look for that 7ft rattler i ran into the other day though!
Yeah, that's what she said.
I got a millino of'em.
"the the atrocity-laden wars in which he led the Serbs against their neighbors."
This is a historically inaccurate statement. Milosevic was not the leader of just the Serbs. He was the leader of the whole nation of Yugoslavia and its varied religious groups. His army responded to a secession attempt by Slovenia (urged by the Germans) and was attacked in Zagreb by Croats. Later, there were non-government affiliated Serb gangs attacking Croats, Bosnians, Kosovars, just as there were Bosnian, Croat and Kosovar gangs attacking others for their religion and territory.
Milosevich had every right to use the national army to try to keep the country together and fight external and domestic attempts to split the country.
As usual, outside nations interfered, leaving us with a situation that will again lead to war. It also leaves Europe with more of its land mass under Islamic domination.
On that last point, it serves the Germans right. The law of unintended consequences, indeed.
Actually, I'm guilty of falling into a MSM trick here, calling Albanians Kosovars, because the Kosovars were Serbs until the Albanians snuck over the border en masse and killed so many Serbs, prior to the Civil War.

Did you have that meeting with our resident geriatric Popeye's security guard? I bet he smelled of Aqua Velva and Ben-Gay.
nope, smell of seals on the beach were the only thing and Jack Daniels were the smell of the day. Being our only day off, had to take advantage of the Pacific Coast..:)
That's a tough one because Milosevic was never a Serb patriot but a reformed Yugoslav Communist. When Yugo began breaking up into nationalist enclaves, he did what any astute politico would do - he changed stripes and began waving the Serb flag.
He defintiely was not the blood-lusting maniac the US press made him out to be. Hell, he wore business suits, didn't live in a palace and actually stepped down without calling out the hounds on protestors. Quite un-Saddam like.
The Serbs who should have been supported by the West lived in Bosnia and Krajina. They were patriots, outnumbered and alone, who refused to accept minority status in newly created countries ruled by Islamic extremists.
Their leader was Radovan Karadzic - who was never a threat to the West, the US, American homes or American soldiers - ever.
They simply refused to be forced to live under Islamic rule - no different than 99.9% of all Americans and Canadians would choose to also do.
