Kosta, that was in response to Former Lib calling the war with Slovenia a lie. That war was very real.
As often seems the case with our Serb FReepers, their version of history is replete with gaps, revisions, and ignorance of actual historical events--even recent ones such as the massacre at Srebrenica--that do not fit Serbian cultural myths.
Name one country that doesn't have myths!
Less than 2 weeks of confused sporadic fighting and only a handful dead... hardly a "war".
Considering the anarchy caused by their unilateral secession, things could have been much uglier. Yugoslavia should in fact be praised for quieting the situation as quickly as it did. I doubt other nations could have handled the situation any better.
How about the accusers? Mr. Cohen here starts off by blaming Serbia for the creation of Yugoslavia, ignorant of the most basic historical facts that Yugoslavia was predominantly a Croatian/Slovenian movement.
How about Milosevic's "infamous" speech in Kosovo in 1989? Have you ever actually read it? Did you read the excerpt posted above? It is about that farthest thing one can imagine from being a "nationalist" rallying cry. Yet it is repeated ad nauseum as such.
What do you think of those basic historical untruths?
How many troops did the Serbs march against Slovenia?
One helicopter, piloted by a Slovene.
Some war effort, huh? LOL!
