There was enough death on both sides of the Drina to make everyone in the region accountable, it was a tri-fecta of blame.

Can you give the example of the other land which was destroyed and where its inhabitants were massacred or expelled like in Serbian Kraina? This is the ONLY example of the genocide (according to the accepted definition) there.

This was done by cooperation of NATO, Croats and Muslims with the joyful support by Westerm mass media. One key military leader was Albanian general who later persecuted Serbs in Kosovo.

You don't know half of what when on there, you have to quit looking at it from such a high level within the context of the conflict. As in all of the Balkans, little fiefdoms among "big daddy gangster wannabes" are a dime a dozen in Bosnia, Serb, Croat and Muslims all included. Much, not all, of the senseless brutality sprouted from these criminals, no doubt, criminals on all sides. Many used the war as an opportunity to establish their control over a local level.

I agree with you that what happened in Krajina was a crime; the butchery at the Medak Pocket was horrendous and the thousands ethnically cleansed form Krajina is completely inexcusable. Croatian pilots strafing civilians was absolutely deplorable, no sane person would claim otherwise.

My comment regarding the word 'genocide" doesn't apply in Bosnia 1992 - 1995, I would agree Bosnia WWII does though.
