Do you mean that all Serbs deserve to be murdered because there are some bad Serbs?

Of course not.


The ethnicity of either group does not pardon what was done here.


We can agree on that.


But I'm sincere when I say I'm confused. I thought Milosovich, the Serbian President committed war crimes. These are false accuations? And there's now an incriminating video implicating Croation officials of plotting war crimes themselves. Is that it in a nutshell?

Milosevic's biggest crime is being a communist sheister, he did more damage to the Serbs than anyone else. None of us here support him other than the fact he is proving that the Hague is a politically motivated kangaroo court.

Don't take things too personally bro, you've been too far removed from the Balkans soap opera to worry about any personal hang ups. Peace bro.

What we are seeing is that Milosevich is being blamed for everything bad that happened during/since the break-up of Yugoslavia when it really was all of the Communist thugs (Slobo, Tudjman, Izebegovich, Thaci). The truth is coming out and it's making some people very uncomfortable.

Particularly since the West decided that everyone fighting against the Serbs was a good guy and lent their assistance. At best, it makes them look stupid; at worst, who's to say?

What is undeniable is that the Serb civilians have taken the brunt of the punishment and they were guilty of nothing other than being Serb (which is enough for some).

Excerpt:

U.S. officials learned in 1992 than Iran had opened a smuggling route to Bosnia with the assistance of Turkey, two years before a controversial decision by President Clinton to give Croatia a diplomatic "green light" for the shipments, national security adviser Anthony Lake said Friday. Bosnian government officials said that by 1993, arms or money for arms purchases also were being supplied through the Turkish pipeline by Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Brunei and Pakistan, and that other weapons shipments came from Hungary and Argentina.

U.S. officials knew of most of the arms shipments but took no action, despite Clinton's public support for a United Nations-sponsored arms embargo against Bosnia, Croatia, and the other nations of the former Yugoslavia. That policy marked a break with the Bush administration, which strongly protested when an Iranian plane flew into Zagreb in September 1992 with 4,000 assault weapons, prompting Croatia to impound the cargo.
