They conducted a vigorous PR campaign against Serbs in order to bolster the political position in the international community.
Croatian nazis were vile beasts... and there were quite a few of them killing Serbs, Jews and Gypsies.
You are an American right? Did you know that the Serbians in WWII called Chetniks saved over 500 American flyers shot down over Yugoslavia by the Germans after those Americans had bombed oil fields in Romania that the German Army relied on.
It IS a fact that Croatia ethnically tried to clear Croatia of Serbian Christians both in WWII and in civil war that broke up Yugoslavia.
And, APPARENTLY they planned to clear Croatia of Serbs BEFORE there was ever a shot fired in the most recent war!!
CROATIANS( and Bosnians) HAVE DIRTY HANDS in this recent war and yet... ONLY Serbs get tried for crimes
THIS IS JUST UNFAIR!! Plain and simple.
IF crimes were committed by political leaders, HAUL ALL THEIR ASSh-l-s BEFORE A COURT!!
You betray a massive ignorance of history Mikey if you are unaware that your uncles serving with allied forces during WWII were serving against the Croatian Ustashi/Nazi SS forces composed primarily of Roman Catholics...many of them RC priests in SS uniform. The primary duty of these courageous warriors was the wholesale torture and murder of Christian Serbs and Jews. So out of control, brutal and inhumane were they in their treatment of prisoners that even the German SS protested.
The Serbs fought a valient geurrilla resistance against Nazi forces during WWII, rescuing hundreds of downed allied flyers and smuggling them back to allied lines. And losing something like one half their adult male population in that conflict. They were rewarded for their loyalty and valor to the allied cause by being CONDEMNED by Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin to 50 years of slavery under the Croatian communist Marshall Tito. Following the collapse of the SU and eastern european communist regimes, They ELECTED Milosevic their head of state a position he held until the clinton war of islamofascist expansion in eastern europe.
