[Cicero]

Sensible people have never argued that Milosevitch was a nice guy, or that the Serbs never committed any atrocities. Atrocities have been committed by all the various nationalities in former Yugoslavia.

But in Bosnia the Muslims committed more atrocities than the Serbs, and in Kosovo the Albanian terrorists committed, and continue to commit, more atrocities than the Serbs.

I still think it's clear that we fought this war on the wrong side.

True, though imo we should have just taken a pass on this conflict.

Just wrong - the Serbs not only won the civilian bodycount sweepstakes in all their lost wars, but courtesy of their campaign against Croat Catholic churches, they won the title for Church destructions, and debased any subsequent claims as to their being "Christian" victims.

Seriously Cicero, who do you think you're going to fool with your revisionist garbage, other than fools?

If two unjust men are fighting, the duty of a just man is not to attack the one who has committed marginally fewer gross injustices, nor to stay out of it, but to smash the power of both parties, and institute actual justice, in the place of either side's crimes. Practically, this may not always be possible. But it is the elementary duty such a situation creates. It is obscene to support defenseless men being shot in the back by mocking and indifferent executioners, on the pretext that relatives of those defenseless men once committed some other crime.

Don't waste your time. These Bosnia-Bots don't want to hear the facts.

I agree.

Having friends who are both Bosnian and Serbian who actually took part in that war, my final analysis from their stories was that there were no "good guys" in this conflict. It was just another bit of inter-ethnic warfare that has been going on in Europe since forever. The nominal religious component is coincidental.

The Bosnians I know, all of whom were involved in that civil war, are "muslims" in the same way most Europeans are "christians" i.e. in name only, and quite frankly they are utterly indistinguishable from any other group of Europeans. This kind of warfare between European ethnic groups is as old as Europe, and almost non-stop for all of history.

I think you're probably correct, but the Serbs lost the PR war, a fact which led to disasterous consequences for the Serb nation.

Got a shred of evidence to back up that assertion?
