Look, are you aware of the crimes of the Croatian nazis and some of their so-called clergy in WWII?? If not, you really need to look it up. Even Hitler was shocked at the Croatian nazi depravity.

If you do not know about Jasenovic, please do look it up.

It is shocking. I was in Korea and what I saw, I really hate to recall. But, what I have read about Jasenovic ranks right up there with ALL the other nazis camps. Not too many Americans even know of the horrors that took place there.

The holocast is not JUST rhetoric to the Serbian Christian victims of Jasenovic and their families ... IT IS REALITY. THEY CAN USE THAT WORD ALL THEY WANT!! THEY OWN THE WORD!!

Would you say it is "just a useful tool of rhetoric" to a Jew or a Gypsy when they also say they were victims of the Jasenovic part of the holocaust??? THEY OWN THE WORD 'HOLOCAUST' as well.

What word do you own??? What have you suffered at the hands of tyrants?

Yes, I am and already was aware of it. Maybe you should focus this anger at Durbin.

In the main, you are correct, but IIRC, the RC priests that were running the camps with the Ustashi(sp?) weren't doing so with Vatican approval (atrocity wise, anyway). 'Course I've been wrong before.

Also IIRC the priests involved did run an escape route for war criminals that ran through Italy, if not the Vatican directly.

WWII was a sad time for all involved and the recriminations won't be over until generations of affected relatives are gone.
