In War everyone is a victim. The KLA and what they are doing now is another story.

As for the first sentence I totally agree. But as for KLA, how different is what they are doing from what the paramilitary forces of Mladic, Karadzic, Martic and Arkan were doing? Were their killings and bombings more humane? Did the people they kill feel less pain? They were terrorists themselves. And that you have people here (not you!) calling KLA terrorists on one side, which they undoubtly are, while on the other hand even idolizing people like Arkan or Karadzic, calling them patriots and even finding no problem in the actions of those forces, then we have a big problem.

I doubt that many people here would agree with me, they disagree with me exactly because of the problem I pointed out. They don't see anything wrong in what Serb military and paramilitary forces did in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo, as they were supposed to be only fighting against terrorism (Kosovo), freeing Serb land (Bosnia,Croatia) and fighting for Serb rights. And the fact that not only Racak is denied, but Srebrenica, concentration camps and Vukovar are called a lie, well that just adds a whole new dimension to it. Along with the justifications and excuses (even finding those in WW2)

I can only wonder why there are people ready to deny things that apparently happened, and have this feeling of self-righteousness and urge to deny anything that has to with crimes of Serb forces. Is it about religion? Ideology? Mentality?

Whatever it is, I don’t like it and can’t accept it. It certainly isn’t about the truth or fairness. Something else much likely.

Nothing, I was talking about the KLA not making a comparison with the past or other groups. The next time you walk around the streets of where ever you live in Slovenia and see a heroin addict pasted out because of KLA heroin trafficking, just remember my attempt to provide you with first hand information about the KLA. But of course you continue to impress yourself with generalities without trying to understand what others and their experience are trying to say to you. Your obviously to sexy for your shirt. Grow up and pull the wax out of your head, maybe send your future posts to yourself and then you will be really impressed.
