Joe is too busy waving his American flag that was made in China while drinking his Budweiser that is owned by the Belgians.

Simply put, Joe is just owned.

Those South Slavs were preoccupied with dealing with the common enemy, the Turks, for centuries. Are you implying that Serbs and Croats were completely in love with each other prior to WW 2? If there was not some underlying hatred, why was there so much genocidal violence in that war? And even if there was not such violence before, I bet there was deep dislike, as there is between Flemings and Walloons in Belgium, or Protestants and Catholics in much of Europe for many centuries. Almost anything cultural or racial which can be used to distinguish groups of people leads to friction and even violence.

I was told by a Hungarian-American that the recent ethnic violence in Yugoslavia was stirred up by Marxist dictators, which tends to support your position. However, Yugoslavia, like Czechoslovakia and Belgium, was an artificial country with no prior history of unification. All those countries were created by "great powers" in the wake of wars which destroyed the empires which once controlled them.

To fight so 'effectively' you wrote.

Let us look what the Serbs were up against the last 75% of the war. Continued and active European and US military advisors training and arming along with direct participation of patrols.

NATO provided aerial imagery and HUMINT to the BiH/Croatians.

NATO was the BiH/Croatian surrogate Air Force

Every move the VRS and the VRSK made, was known.

Now, look at how well the Serbs fought against a superior in number and more effective Strategical Operations Support.

The Serb was outnumbers, outgunned, out-PR'd and they were without allies when fighting and killing Islamica was not cool. The Serbs made killing Islamica a kool kinda kat thing.

then explain to me why a Serbian female friend of mine was physically forced out of her Western Slavonia village and house back in 1987, alogn with the rest of her Serb neighbors? The Serbs returned in 1990 and took back their village.
