i'm beginning to like you more and more now... i.e Slobo commie scumbag. :)
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm trying to be a realist in my assessment of the whole situation. It seems to me that everyone who comments on the Balkans either harbors illusions that Milosevic was a misunderstood patriot, or that Tudjman wasn't a neo-Nazi whackjob that he was, or that Izetbegovic is a democrat instead of the Zarqawi in a business suit that he is, or some other fantasy.
What I see is millions of people run roughshod over by three different kinds of totalitarian ideologues and slick opportunists, and a useless-as-usual UN making things worse.
What I cannot abide is the suggestion that US troops deployed to the region were bad actors and war criminals in some kind of sinister plot.
That is not how the US operates, and it enrages me when people blame America for the consequences of Milosevic's actions.
