[A. Pole]

it is illuminating to note that their erstwhile leader--Slobodan Milosevic--was charged with more counts of war-crimes

Whether someone is CHARGED with one crime or thousand crimes it does not made someone more or less guilty. And the charges in the show trial in Hague are worth as much as charges in Moscow show trials in 1930s. The main difference is that the accused in Moscow were being tortured while in Hague are being poisoned.

The point is that the idea that Serbia's Balkan Wars were about defending Christendom is a canard; revisionism to gain sympathy from those of us who are against Islamic terrorism. That Milosevic was charged with more warcrimes against Christian Croats than against any other group simply illustrates that point, as does the fact that the Christians of the former Yugoslavia were just as opposed to Milosevic and the Serbs as the Yugo Muslims.

The nationalist aspirations of the former Yugoslavia's constituent groups came into conflict and that is why not just the Muslim Bosniaks, but the Kosovo Albanians, Christian Slovenes, Christian Croats, Christian Macedonians, and Christian Montenegrins have all split away from Belgrade and the Serbs. And the Hungarian Christian minority in Serbia's province of Vojvodina is not real happy right now either.

To those in the Balkans, Christian and Muslim alike, who opposed Belgrade & Milosevic and the "Greater Serbia" ideology; it was not--as the Serbs dishonestly portray it today--a fight against Christianity, it was a struggle for freedom and independence.
