So, where's your evidence that "genocide" took place?

Yes, that four letter word beginning with an "F".

FACT and preferably in the plural, please.

It's interesting that there are so many people here defending the ICTY and the U.N.

I thought that "FreeRepublic" was a CONSERVATIVE talk board.

Yet at the same time lots of folks hate and don't recognize either one.

The United States would never send a president to the Hague even if he dropped a nuke on Paris because the US government does not recognize the legitimacy of the court. The court proceedings are far from standard court proceedings here in the US.

Some folks in here shouldn't bother writing about this because clearly they just regurgitate the crap that CNN and FOX salted their brain with. Nobody does research anymore. Nobody reads. Yet they defend "their" position so adamantly. Lots of folks never left their from yard and yet they are international law experts.

Yes,

I think near half of those hear are liberal impostors from literally around the world.
My point was that the Author was a Serb and had an angle. His article was written from the viewpoint that genocide never happened or it's normal to behave in this way and good ole Milosevic was just a victim. In long lasting tradition it's a conspiracy combined with a revisionist interpretation of history where in the end the victims become the culprit and those truly at fault of these awful events get made into martyrs.

Now that he’s deed the “rumor mill” looses no breath to concoct a grand conspiracy where somehow he was murdered. Riiiiiiiiiiiight-

My point in the earlier post is that this is a story by a Serb for a Serb. It’s not news, rather wishful thinking based on assumptions. Normally this sort of stuff is defined as “editorial” but today the line between editorial and “news” has blurred as in near all media (CNN, ABC, MSNBC….NYT’s, Newsweek). This article is an extreme case of an author writing opinions and extrapolating on them to present a “I wish it were so” view as news.

But that’s just my opinion.
