IMO history will show that Milosevic was one of the greatest servants of Democratic principles in our lifetime.

A dictator serving democratic principles.

The 'lie' against Serbia, used as a tool to break up the Balkans

Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro left Yugoslavia in accordance with the will of the majority of their inhabitants.

A majority of the inhabitants of Bosnia, had they been permitted to vote, would have voted to exit Yugoslavia.

This would have stranded a sizable Serb minority which desired to remain Yugoslavian in Bosnia.

Yugoslavia's dictator decided to create a Serb majority in Bosnia to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, as a matter of policy, the Yugoslav government intiated a policy of exiling or killing the requisite number of non-Serbian Bosnians to create a Serb majority.

When that failed and Bosnia was partitioned, the advocates of Kosovar secession were emboldened.

Milosevic for the second time implemented the same policy, this time in Kosovo.

There is no "lie" here - the Milosevic regime committed crimes, and the different peoples of the Balkans wanted their independence as surely as the Slovaks, the Lithuanians, the Czechs, the Hungarians, the Ukrainians and other nations inside the Warsaw pact and Soviet Union wanted their independence.

To discuss the post-Communist national movements as if they were a plot instead of popular movements is ridiculous.

All hearsay and propaganda, and more lies. You can't be taken seriously. Check the trial transcripts.

The truth, the 'covert public' breakup of the Balkans played into the hands of the Islamists. Ever step of it was a lie.

We see the same strategy at work now in Iraq. All news is a misrepresentation of the facts, making W and the USA the enemies of peace.
