'As the journalist Alec Russell, a former Balkan correspondent, has reported, more than 90 percent of the of the war crimes in the former Yugoslavia were perpetrated by Serbs.'

What a ridiculous citation. I wouldn't accept most presstitutes statements that the sun would rise in the east.

In Serbia's defense, he wasn't the only bad guy. Just the worse.

Of course, his argument of defense against Islamic terrorism falls apart when you realize Serbs fought Catholic Croats and Slovenes, and that the rioters of Paris and murderers of van Gogh were not Balkan Muslims, but Arabs from North Africa.

Serbia has little sympathy in the world, and Slobo has little sympathy in Belgrade's younger generation. Unfortunately, thanks to his legacy, we'll have a near-permanent presence in Kosovo and Bosnia.

Do we forget so soon the aerial pictures of "mass graves" that were later debunked? Do we forget how on this very site we all called the war a "Wag the Dog" to distract from the Monica Lewinsky debacle? Do we also forget so soon that NATO entered into a war to break up Yugoslavia and give parcel after parcel of it to the damned muslims? Does anyone remember how Ron Brown was conveniently killed over there? Are the UN peacekeepers over there forgotten who protect CHRISTIANS and CHRISTIAN CHURCHES from muslim mobs? Sorry, I'm just not convinced that Milosevic was doing anything more or less than defending his country from the muslims and then from us.

Muslims sure have an awesome propaganda machine, where it deals with old Yugoslavia...

I am impressed, but very afraid that this "template" will be used by muslims elsewhere...

Well, they did find those mass graves that Clinton went on and on about.

But we found them in Iraq and they were full of Arabs.

"Clinton lied! People died!"

"Sorry, I'm just not convinced that Milosevic was doing anything more or less than defending his country from the muslims and then from us.

I refuse to discuss anything else until the following questions are answered:

How many operating Christians Churches existed in the muslim areas before we bombed the Serbs?
How many operating Christian churches exist in those same areas today?

Anything else is BS...

Ah....yes, the "legacy" of Slobo makes us stay in Kosovo even as our "freedom loving" Albanian allies burn hundreds of Serb churches....with nary a peep of protest from the state department.

my sentiments as well. I'm having difficulty buying that milo was the great satan he has been demonized to be. Seems to me he was fighting muslim terrrorists the way he felt they should be fought...with extreme prejudice.

Now the muslims have won thanks to nato and look what they are doing...murdering the very Serbs Milo was trying to defend. Go figure.

It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned

And about 150,000 of them were Serbs murdered by muslims and Croatians...

After a decade of ethnic conflict in the Balkans, much of it directly incited by Milosevic, the UN Criminal Tribunal counted 11,334 bodies in 529 gravesites, with as many as 6,000 missing.

That's it?! That's the reason we put Muslims and some cronies in charge of most of the region and ethnically cleansed a million or so Serbs from it??

Every president needs a "Hitler" clone to get public support for his or her pet quagmire. Noreiga was GHWB's Hitler, Slobo was Clinton's Hitler, and Saddam is Bush's Hitler. Hitler is dead but his "useful" clones will live forever.

And if we withdrew, would the situation be worse? Yes. I didn't say the Albanians are saints. What's worse, burnt churches or dead bodies? You can rebuild a church.

I know there's one video out there about the church burnings, but I haven't heard anything from neutral sources about it. (The Serbian media has a BIG credibility gap, another legacy from Slobo).

The best solution is to partition Kosovo and Bosnia along ethnic and religious lines. The Albanian areas should merge with Serbia, the Serb areas with Serbia, the Coat areas go to Kosovo, and the Serb-Muslim bits become independent, etc.

Your "better" solution (are you claming its better?) would have has bogged down for eternity protecting a comic-opera country of Bosnia, that has no legitimacy with anyone and a Kosovo quasi-state that is busily clearing all Serb minority areas. Partition is the best option but the State department, which loves the status quo, stands in the way. In this sense, the policy you support is indeed making matters worse.

I meant to say the Croat areas should go to Croatia.

So then, you think that Clinton was right to bomb Kosovo? I remember the days when folks here opposed the Rapist and Chief's war.

I am severely disappointed with Front Page and am going to have to research this guy Laskin to see why he has an axe to grind. This looks to be classic disinformation. No one with a double digit IQ could be honestly this blind.

Slobo may or may not have been guilty of war crimes, but he deserved to be tried by his fellow Serbs in Serbia, just as Saddam is being tried by Iraquis in Iraq.

Feh.

Even in death Slobo still manages to redirect attention away from the reality of the Balkans - while Russia was generating controversy about Slobo's autopsy, it, along with China, gave assurances they wouldn't stand in the way of Kosovo's independence.

That potential bombshell having passed relatively unnoticed, they discarded the autopsy issue as no longer necessary.
