>>> So utterly stupid it's hard to work up the energy to respond. Izetbegovic called on the Serb-dominated JNA to help in his genocide against Serbs for which he was obviously unprepared. What do you say to someone who think this way???<<<

I would call person claiming what you have just written an idiot.

Izetbegovic ATTACKED JNA. JNA was federal army and Izetbegovic deliberatelly attacked to provoke retaliation.

There were 2 notable massacres:

TUZLA APRIL 15 1992

Hasan Efendic claimed that in Tuzla 160 JNA members were killed and 200 were injured when they were evacuating Tuzla. There had been an agreement for their withdrawal in Tuzla as there had been in Sarajevo. During the April 15, 1992 withdrawal of JNA troops from Muslim-held Tuzla, 160 JNA soldiers were killed and 200 wounded after a deliberate Muslim attack. The Bosnian Muslim faction was creating anarchy and mayhem in Bosnia. The Bosnian Muslim faction was deliberately seeking to provoke the JNA and the Bosnian Serb faction to react and to respond.

JNA could level Tuzla with SAMs but there was no response.

SARAJEVO

May 3 1992: 2- 3 May - Because of deteriorated situation in BH, the Conference on Bosnia- Herzegovina in Lisbon was interrupted on request of Alija Izetbegovic. On returning to Sarajevo Izetbegovic was detained by YPA in the barracks in Lukavica, as response to blockade and attack on the headquarters of the Second Army District in Sarajevo. With mediation of UNPROFOR and EC emissaries, Alija Izetbegovic and general Milutin Kukanjac agreed on safe withdrawal of men and equipment from the headquarters building. After Alija Izetbegovic left for the Presidency building, a convoy of withdrawing YPA vehicles on their way to Lukavica barracks was attacked by BH territorial defense units, who killed several officers, soldiers and civilians.

JNA retaliated with shelling Bosnian Muslim forces for 3 days.

At that time, according to Sefer Halilovic memoir, Bosnian Muslims had 120 000 armed men. Hardly an defenseless victim in a civil war.

If you do not know the facts, read.

>>>>>>>>>You're still living like it's 1942, DTA, and whenever you remind me of that I can better understand how nationalists were able to get so many people just like you riled up with BS to the point of such brutality.<<<<<<<<

Three days ago, there was HOLOCAUST remeberance day. I guess your comment is that they are still living like it's 1942.
