Bosnia was a three-way civil war. The situation with German Jews doesn't compare. Here is a picture of the Bosnian (Muslim) army:

Weren't the Muslim forces significantly larger than the Serb forces? Revisionist history. TOTAL lies. The Serb army DWARFED that of every other. The Bosnians used home-made rifles for the most part, as the Serbs controlled what was the national Yugoslav army.
Come on, we're not that naiive.
To: joan
No date. And it's about 150 soldiers. Very impressive...
To: NYC Republican
The Serb army DWARFED that of every other. Do you have the numbers? You do know that the Yugoslav army pulled out the Spring of 1992, and international observers confirmed this, don't you?

This is also a pro-Serb site, so you're not fooling anyone.

"Like you didn't see the images of the concentration camps, where the Bosnians were thin as a rail, malnourished..."
The infamous footage of the super skinny man, Fikret Alic, was where the crew put itself behind a dilapidated fence surrounding an agricultural area, and shot through that, deceiving the public that the men were imprisoned inside. They weren't. You do know that the man was in a transit camp and on his way to Europe. (Europe opened its doors and allowed the Muslims to easily escape the war; the Serbs had to stay and suffer the Mujahideen). Those who shot the footage scanned the crowd for skinny men - there were many normal and well-fed men - and someone pushed Fikret Alic through the crowd remarking on his appearance. But he was probably like that before the war through disease or naturally. Here is an article and photograph of him last summer, at the tenth anniversary of that picture. He's not missing any ears, eyes, scalp, fingers, etc. There's no scars. And now he's married to a Bosnian woman and has a little boy.

Who is a Bosnian Muslim who starved to death? He didn't. Serbs say no Bosnia Muslims starved to death in Serb prisoners. On the otherhand, there are Serbs who starved to death in Muslim camps such as the Silo at Tarcin.

The Truth vs. ITN - And Reuters
The picture that fooled the world
Photo: ITN archive
This image of an emaciated Muslim caged behind Serb barbed wire, filmed by a British news team, became a worldwide symbol of the war in Bosnia. But the picture is not quite what it seems. German journalist Thomas Deichmann reveals the full story

You really are a peach NYCAlbanoidDo you want to explain this? Albanoid? What the heck are you talking about? Why don't you call me Bosnian? Or Croatian? Or heck Serb, I could be a Serb who loves my people but hates those that have helped destroy our good name and sacked our economy? You're wrong on all fronts, but, just out of curiosity, just cause I can't stand seeing people supporting the Milosevice regime and engaging in revisionist history, you think I happen to be from a certain region? That's too funny.
To: NYC Republican
"too funny" would be seeing you profiled on American's Most Wanted!
At the invitation of US Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro Mr. William Montgomery, The Association of Parents and Families of Arrested, Captured and Missing Persons FR Yugoslavia; The Association of Families and Missing Persons from Krajina; and The Association of Families of Persons Abducted or Reported Missing in Kosovo and Metohija will be visiting New York, Chicago and Oklahoma City on a special mission arranged by the US Department of States Foreign Visitors Program. The organizations will establish official contacts and investigate actions being taken in seeking answers to the painful questions of discovering the fate of their loved ones lost in Krajina, Kosovo and other regions of the former Yugoslavia.
During the course of their visit to Washington, DC, these representatives will be meeting with US Government officials from the Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of Defense, and Members of Congress. In addition, meetings have been scheduled with the National League of POW/MIA Families, Americas Most Wanted, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund to mention a few.

I can't stand seeing people supporting the Milosevice regime and engaging in revisionist historyAs a long time FR Balkans Front member, I haven't seen anybody on FreeRepublic supporting Milosevic or his regime.
I have seen posters put the lie to NATO claims for intervention in the Balkans. I have seen posters disparage Milosevic but still put his words in perspective like the supposedly inciteful speech in Kosovo. Heck, the Clinton state dept thought he was a great guy at the Dayton accords.
I'm not a fan of unrepentant communist hard liners but there are and where at the time, leaders of countries that were much worse than Milosevic.
The ICTY trial and the complete corruption of the prosecution and judges only goes to show that even commie thugs can gain support when faced with a court that is a decoy for justice.

Look at the bright side, pick me boy. The court gave your man life. That's a lot more than he gave his victims.

Of course not. They were too busy being forced to bite each others' privates off at gunpoint, before having their brains blown out.
