Yes, he was a murderous communist scumbag -- which made him the perfect guy to set up to take the fall for every horrible thing that happened in the break up of the former Yugoslavia. And while the world heaped its scorn on Milosevic for being "a murderous communist scumbag" and on the Serbs for being "allies of a murderous communist scumbag", everyone ignored what was --and still is -- really going on! Four former allies of WWII Nazi Germany -- the Slovenes, the Croats, the Bosnian Muslims and the Muslim Kosovo Albanians -- now have (or are about to gain) new countries thanks to a new and reunited Germany. And this is a disaster for America, whether they know it yet. or not!
Perhaps I am biased because I have distant Slovenian relatives, but Slovenia seems to be a pretty normal, market-oriented little country.
Croatia is quite different - Tudjman was about the closest thing to a Nazi you can be in the modern era and get away with it.
Izetbegovic is an Islamist and his government should be regarded as no different from the Hamas regime in Gaza.
The Albanians is Kosovo seem to be a mix between hardcore Islamists and neo-Communists - they are just a poisonous brew.
Germany's role in all this is clear: I don't think Germany is not looking to create a resurgence of Nazism, but trying to create it's own sphere of influence to rival the US and Russia. German wants a pro-German bloc in Europe so it can use their votes and influence in the EU and possibly NATO to block initiatives that Germany finds deleterious. It's naked power politics.
Obviously, Germany should never be trusted and it should always be monitored.
