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.

>>>>>What else could we have done? Explain that.<<<<<

I assume that "we" represent U.S. government in 1992.

Lisbon agreement, brokered by Portuguese diplomat Cutillero provided a platform for peace in Bosnia BEFORE the civil war broke out. It was signed by all three sides. However, Bosnian Muslim leader Izetbegovic complained to U.S. Ambassador Zimmerman that he did not like the terms of Peace agreement. Zimmermann told him, if he does not like it, why he is not withdrawing his signature, U.S. will support him. Izetbegovic did, and the rest is history. Civil war broke out.

As a result, 102,000 Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs died, in a civil war that lasted three years

It could have been prevented.

According to Nuremberg, Zimmerman and Izetbegovic are guilty of crime against Peace.

They were not indicted by ICTY. So much of this bogus "war crimes tribunal", 'the biggest war crimes tribunal since Nuremberg".

Your inistence on fake information is mind boggling. There were no "Bosnians" and "Serbs". Serbs in Bosnia are Bosnians also. There are only Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs as warring parties.

The propagandists use this propaganda trick to mislead the audience in believing that the Serbs were aggressors in Bosnia. Aggressors in their own land. That is your main line. Wrong from the ground up. You got it all mixed up.

The problem with Nazi analogies you make is that in the Balkans, Nazi crimes are still living history, because there are still survivors.

When you speak of Bosnian Muslims being the sole victims, it is isensitive towards the all other victims in civil war.

Especially having in mind that Bosnian Muslims have started civil war in Bosnia.

What are you talking about? Nothing happened in Greece - you are making up things. There was no fighting in Greece. The war didn't even come close. Macedonia broke off in 1992 without any war and no fighting even spilled into that country until after NATO took countrol of Kosovo and Kosovo Albanians launched an attack from the UN/NATO governed Kosovo onto Macedonia in 2001 AFTER Milosevic was no longer in power.
