Quoting from a UN commander:

"Portraying the Serbs as evil and everybody else as good was not only counter-productive but also dishonest. According to my experience, all sides were guilty but only the Serbs would admit that they were no angels, while the others would insist that they were. With 28,000 forces under me and with constant contacts with UNHCR and the International Red Cross officials, we did not witness any genocide beyond killings and massacres on all sides."

Abolish the ICTY, before it abolishes our Anglo-American judicial system, which thousands of patriots in 1775-1783 died to establish!!!!

[A. Pole]

He is a criminal , killer, and he belongs in prison.

Because you say so?

I personally went through war in Croatia from 1990-1995

If you were "personally" involved in the war, does it make you more or less objective? Either way, if you have some evidence, why don't you go Hague to testify? They will pay for your expenses. What is your answer?

BTW, welcome (again?) on Free Republic.

From the article, I want to say, we considered USA a country ‘across the lake’. We don’t understand what happened with our relationship.”

I can tell you. The Serbs ran afoul of the same people that let the Muslims run amok through the mid-late 90s. The same people that are directly responsible for allowing 9-11 to take place.

I never paid close attention to the Balkan's conflict, other than thinking that we should step back and see how things shook out. After 9-11, I've come to realize that while the Serbs are not pure as the driven snow, as some would have us believe, they definitely were/are not the monsters that the media has made them out to be. In fact, I can honestly say that I would probably react the same way if my home and family were threatened with what they were.

The US owes them an apology, and if Milosevic is on trial, then Bill Clinton should be , too.

The truth continues to trickle out!

Srebrenica Muslims "ravaged and ransacked neighbouring ethnic Serb villages," continues Kliphuis, "killing and maiming the residents, who were often too old to offer any resistance….The Serb villages were then set on fire." After his role in killing up to 2,000 Serbs, Oric himself fled Srebrenica just before it was stormed by the Bosnian Serb army.

Had it not been for the Muhammedan terrorists operating out of Srebenica with absolute impunity, the Serbs would never have touched it.

[LjubivojeRadosavljevic]

Well, Milosevic's "original sin" was that he was a socialist who resisted the West's push (led mainly by Germany and the US) for the breakup of Yugoslavia as far back as 1989. He didn't want to subject Yugoslavia to the painful economic reforms of privatization, strict IMF rules, etc. that were afflicting so many of the other former Eastern-Bloc countries under communist rule.

Because of his resistance to the West, the western media painted the conflicts in the Balkans as a war of good (The Muslims) against evil (The Serbs). As such, and with strong media support, it was easy for the Clinton administration to stigmatize Serbia as a rogue nation. Unfortunately, we're still paying the price for this negative stigmatization.

[A. Pole]

You said it all!

another slobo whiner supporter...

[Destro]

When we say Free Slobo! It is more like an inside American joke/slang (Free OJ!). Wedon't consider Slobo a good guy in fact most of us here consider him a criminal - maybe even a murderer (of political foes) but his crimes should not be judges by teh UN courts which is a dangerous creation - he should be tried in Serbia for his crimes like Saddam is being tried in Iraq. That applies to all Balkan war players. I would even consider a tibunal court made up of judges from each former Yugislav republic but not this UN monster. Lastly, in irder to make the UN court seem to work and be a good thing they have lied about how bad the Serbs were - and hid the crimes of others lik eteh Muslims and Coratians.

[montyspython]

Yes but let's not make Milosevic out to be some unsung hero, he was a thief. He was protecting his own interests more than anything else.

That says it pretty well.

You say Free Slobo, yet u show your support for that despicable individual.

[tahotdog]

This is Slobodan Milosevic, an innocent man being tried by a so-called International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague, Holland, presumably for attempting to deport (or ethnically cleanse) albanian islammites from a Serbian province for barbaric conduct over a protracted period of time.

One assumes that the Dutch are practicing to try themselves for ethnic cleansing and genocide, since they themselves are now beginning to expell muslims from their own country, also for barbaric conduct over a protracted period of time.

One can only assume that barbaric conduct over protracted periods of time is a sort of an islammite specialty.

Now, one way to prevent yourself from being charged with hypocricy, is to start torturing people. For the same reason that nobody would ever charge Al Capone with shoplifting, nobody would ever charge somebody like Adolf Eichman or Joseph Mengele with hypocrisy.

Thus it comes out that a prosecution witness in this trial of Slobodan Milosevic stood up in the courtroom and stated that prosecutors had attempted to torture an accusation against Milosevic out of him.

Now, in an American courtroom, that would be the instantaneous end of the trial and the prosecutor's career (doing anything other than washing dishes in the courtroom cafeteria) right there.

Thus there should be a question of how Americans would want to be associated with this process even before you consider the fact that Americans soundly reject the entire premise of the ICC and have gone as far as to pass a law requiring the president of the United States to use military force to rescue any American being held by that "tribunal". In other words, Holland would face the armed might of the United States military were it to try to do to any American what it is doing to Milosevic.

My advice to the Dutch: Don't sit around trying to guess whether or not that "Hague Invasion Act" is real or some sort of a joke; go ahead, try it. Kidnap some American soldier or political official and put him on trial for some sort of war crime charge in the Hague. I can't think of anything I'd have more fun watching than that, other than having the spetznaz rescue Slobodan Milosevic of course.
