Actually yes, the Serbs did slaughter people, but its not the Muslims that were the targets. It was the Catholic Croats. There were towns where whole apartments were forced to evacuate and lined up and shot. I've seen the headstones at the cemetary, I've seen the bullet holes in the buildings. They did happen. I only saw Mostar, Hercegovina, and it was far from the worst. The one who explained all this lives in a tiny village about 20 miles away. His family still has to go to that town for a hospital, or other major city things.

I find it highly insulting that this person absolves Milosevic. Really he was into genocide, you can tell by the gravesites. 11 year olds, with their 3 year old siblings, and their 30 some year old mom and dad, all taken out in the middle of the night, and lined up and shot by Milosevic's army.

I have nothing against the Serb people, Milosevic ruled them with just as much of an iron fist as anyone, but to say we chose the wrong side, well then we chose wrong in WWII.

The Christians were being killed, and thankfully the US did come to the rescue and by intervening when they did, they stopped the genocide.

In 1995, Croatian forces launched a massive offensive against the Krajina Serbs. The offensive led to approximately 14,000 Serb civilians being killed and about 300,000 Serb refugees. The lightning attack included attacks against civilians, namely burning Serb homes, looting Serb property, and killing and mutilating Serb civilians, especially the elderly.

Ever heard about "Jasenovac"...???....That's the place, where your Catholic Croats killed 3/4 of my familie, because they were Jewish...

ooohhh...yeah, the Serbs are Christians too...and were fighting side by side with the Americans during WWII...

Mostar was the scene of YEARS of Croat-MUSLIM fighting. The Serbs were kicked out by June 1992 (within 2 months). A few months later the Croats and Muslims communities divided, with the Croats on the west bank of a river and the Muslims on the east. The Croats then pulverized the eastern side and devastated it much worse than Sarajevo, according to those who've been there. Yet, it received little media attention. The Croats were the ones who blew up Mostar's famous bridge - but I bet they didn't tell you that.

I'd like to you to give the names, dates of death and towns where you say the children were killed, because they may have been killed in places after the Serbs were gone and when the Croat-Muslim war was happening.

The Croat "Christian" clergy was behind the most sadistic, brutal killings of WWII. They had camps where they starved children to death. The Croat Catholic clergy war criminals were smuggled out, after WWII, in the ratlines.

Your facts need to be checked thoroughly, Mostar was the scene of Muslim-Croat fighting, no Serbs. Croats were hammered in the press for destroying the bridge at Mostar.

1) We did choose the wrong side in WWII, by the way, the Allied decision to support Tito in Yugoslavia was grave mistake.

2) Serbs are Christians, your post implies that they are not and that Catholics somehow are the only ones with the credentials to claim sole proprietorship of Christianity. This is simply wrong.
