>>>>>>That's an ignorant argument.There were Volksdeutsche Poles, Lithuanians, even Americans fighting in the Wehrmacht in WWII. What's your point? <<<<<<<<

My point is that your posts are pure Nazi revisionism. It seems that smearing of the Serbs was not enough for you, so you have to smear the Poles as well.

Poles, Czechs, Serbs and Greeks were the only European people who did not provide volunteers for Hitler. Calling ethnic Germans from Poland "Poles" is the same as calling Auschwitz "Polish extermination camp". it is an attempt to attribute guilt to the Poles as a people, Poles who were Nazi Victims, NOT collaborators. You know, it is villification of the victims. Millions of Poles were Nazi victims.

Your act is dishonest. I doubt you are an U.S. officer.

Admitting that a few Americans fought on the side of the Taliban does not make the US guilty of what the Taliban did.

Admitting that a few whacko Americans fought for the NAZI's (And they did) does not make the US a nation that supported the NAZI's.

Admitting that a few Poles sided with the NAZI's does not deny nor belittle the fights in Warsaw or the near hopeless battles against an overbearing enemy in 1939.

YOU MAKE MY POINT! It’s ridiculous! It’s ridiculous to say that all Bosnians/Croats were happy subjects of the NAZI’s because a “few” went along with it. I suggest you learn where Tito came from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito

The Bosnians are hate the Serbs, the Serbs hate the Bosnians. Nothing you do will change their views. Maybe with a lot of time they will not want to kill each other? God knows. But the simple fact was that Serbia was an obstacle to peace in the Balkans. They were the ones that had nothing to gain from it. They were the ones with the overwhelming military power. Everything else is qualifying these truths. All the references to WWII, the Islamists, bla bla bla is refocusing the attention from what really happened. You had one belligerent who was destabilizing a whole region. Who was pouring fuel on a fire in the Balkans that was spreading further even into Greece etc. You had literally over a million refugees and Germany alone took on 250,000. Something had to be done; and one party was not willing to compromise or concede anything. Therefore, while in reality, the Serbs are ethnically more like us, Christian, and the Bosnians were in reality no better if given a chance. It was the Serbs who were the ones with the tanks and airplanes and helicopters and were not willing to play along to achieve some solution other than us bombing them into it.

What else could we have done? Explain that.
