So what do you want?

An end to the specious defences of Milosevic and his actions - you've pretty much conceded the point on the command responsibility issue, DEI.

Perhaps we can move on to other things, like figuring out how to rebuild the Serbian economy and integrating it into Europe.

That would be nice for a change, and as there's no end of opportunities for rancorous disagreement when it comes to economics, we could maintain our usual relationship while arguing about how to construct a better future rather than apportioning blame for a disasterous past.

This is not about Milosevic and I think you know that. The trial will define 'what' history was and is in the balkans. The 'Kriegsschuldfrage' will be answered accordingly to the outcome of the trial. And the outcome of the trial was already determined long ago at the Pentagon, the White House, the State Departement, you name it.

Hoplite, it is my strong believe that there can't be economic, political progress and prosperity for Serbia as long as the occupation continues and the Serbs west of the Drina are denied their right to self-determination and their right to join Serbia for a new and democratic Serbian Federation. First things first. As long as you oppose this goal, for whatever reason, we will be in fundamental disagreement.
