The Slovenes were whipped into hysteria at the thought of being severed from FRY while remaining a part of FRY. The Croatians bullyed them into their self-proclaiming hysteria. - - - correction underlined/scored

Boy you just got in way over your head on this thread son, your butt was just handed to you on a platinum plater. I suggest you take whatever is left of your posterior and hope that there is enough flesh left over to be even remotely recognizable as an ass.
Not even Hoplite can save you on this one boy.

The only denial I see is that any crimes could've possibly been committed against Serbian civilians in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. How many have been charged with and sentenced for these crimes?
IMO, Serbia has nothing to apologize for until the thousands of murdered Serbs have been recognized as victims and honoured as such. The causes of the Wars for Yugoslav Succession lie in the early 1940s as much as they do in the late 1980s.

Miloshevich was a Communist, not a nationalist. More than anything else, though, he was a skilled manipulator and an opportunist. You cannot squarely blame Miloshevich for the war, though. What about Tudjman and Izetbegovich? The former was thrown out of military (despite being the youngest-ever general the YA had ever had, at 40) for pro-Nazi views, the latter had been imprisoned twice for preaching Jihad and was actually a member of pro-Nazi Muslim youth during WWII. He authored & published "The Islamic Declaration" (Islamska Deklaratsiya) in 1970.

Bob, if the US troops go in and remove every latino in the local government and replace them with Anglos from out of state, dynamite their churches, close the schools, shut down the major businesses, surround the towns with armored vehicles & then shell them or shoot a few civilans before moving in and giving the populace 30 minutes to start walking to the Mexican border--to include those who've lived there for generations, then murder those who don't move fast enough; then yes, I'll condemn US troops. And until that starts happening, your analogy is distinctly imperfect.
You've just described to the very last detail the behaviour of the Croatian state in 1991. I don't know if that was your intetion, though...
