Perhaps if you are so concerned about private property you can explain how it is that the mostly rural Serb populations (they being farmers, mostly, and owning all the farmland so we've been told here on F.R.) felt it was necessary to boot non-Serbs out of the cities?

Again, Hoplie poses as a great intellectual - by asking what appears to be a tough question. But all is simple: those in towns decided that all the land around an Islamoc state. What the heck islamic state is - visit USA-feed and backed Talibanese Afghan.

Come back (in one piece) and keep squeeking about Serbs who do not wish to live in islamic state.

BTW, similar stories happened before. During civil war in Russia, Ukrajnian farmer's armies pillaged cities with mixed population and kicked out everyone they thought to be associated withe white or red (depending on the war period). And hey, this almost always happened to be Russians or Jews.

Finally, they lost - and know what was done to them a bit later?

Thanks for that little bit of ill-informed irrelevance.

The Muslim residents of Bosnia's towns and cities that fell under the thrall of Radovan Karadzic were not as a group the fanatical adherents to Islam like they're made out to be - they did, however, own property and have valuables that could be extorted, stolen, or otherwise expropriated by Karadzic's followers.

Lastly, the US never supported the Taliban: Afghan history seems to be as mysterious to you as does that of Bosnia.

There's a price to be paid for being ignorant, and you'll continue to pay it until you address the deficiencies in your knowledge base.
