To compare 2 things they must have equal properties, otherwise it is logical fallacy. By implying that Omarska and Belsen differed only in the number of the dead you engage in an act of Holocaust revisionism because this HIDES THE HORRENDOUS NATURE OF BELSEN CONCENTRATION CAMP.

If Omarska was like Belsen on a smaller scale, then Belsen was like Omarska, only on larger scale.

If one is not familiar what BELSEN looked like but trusts your opinion and reads the Omarska judgement to get an idea how Belsen looked like, he or she may draw conclusion that:

1. Belsen was detention camp and there were no children prisoners in Belsen. Anne Frank must be wrong or exageration.

2. Belsen occured during civil war and Jews made concentration camps for Germans the same way Germans made for Jews.

3. Belsen prisoners were fed the same food as German Army, only in smaller quantities and once a day. Starvation and "You don't eat, you don't shit" must be exageration of the British forces.

And so on. The worst part is that your opinion mirrors that of liberal establishment. Really disturbing to think about it - we have Nazi revisionism built into the school curricula.

In 20 years, kids will believe that Jews were taken to the gas chambers in air conditioned busses.

In 50 years, people will say "BELSEN WAS A LIE, JUST LIKE BOSNIA".

That's what liberal lies are all about - about revivng Nazism under another name.

That Omarska pales besides Belsen is not the issue.

That a place like Omarska was ever brought back into existence is.

Perhaps you should respond to my comments rather than setting up your own little strawmen and gleefully knocking them down.

Let me put it to you this way, in real world terms: That places like Omarska were brought into existence, and the Serb response to their misdeeds at places like Omarska, has played a large part in the decisions to:

1. Restore Croatia's Republic borders at the expense of the RSK.
2. Eliminate the RS as an entity in Bosnia.
3. Ensure that the decision as to whether to stay with Serbia or seceed is left in the hands of Kosovo's populace, with the forseeable results.

That's the real world, DTA, and playing your disingenuous little games here on FR ain't going to change a damn bit of it.
