Yes, because they knew if they stayed they would be slaughtered. Just like before.
Ohhhh,if only life could be so easy......LOL
So you play semantics to whitewash other Croats? Not nice.
Yeah, you didn't slaughter them, as long as they were leaving. What about those who stayed put?
You seem to have a thing for "Catholic Croatia"? What's so good about it? Do you approve of the massive genocides of WWII against its non-Catholic population, or are you just ignorant? Why on earth would a non-Croat want to live in a seperatist Croatia, totally unrepentant for its past, but indeed, governed by a neo-fascist like Franjo Tudjman?
You like to mention Dubrovnik. Alright we can talk about Dubrovnik if you wish. Let's start with the fact Croat troops were using the fortress walls as sniper positions. What, in your uniquely exulted view of the world, give Croats the right to fire and denies that same right to Serbs to fire back?
It's been over 10 years now, and I still haven't received something in the way of a logical answer yet?
BTW, were you crying when Croats were firing larger sized shells at the Serbian civilian population of Gospic, Knin, Sisak, and dozens of other places?
Looking forward to your reply, big fan of "Catholic Croatia".
Oh, let me guess, the answer is something like:
"Cuz we said so!!!"
I didn't even know the Croats had guns. At least that's what it seemed like to me watching the news. I thought Serbs were doing all the shooting and killing, and the Croats were the victims. Nothing I ever saw or read for the last ten years or so even gave me the impression the Croats (or Muslims) even had an army. I suppose a few might have had some hunting rifles and a kitchen knife... I mean, if they had an army why were they always crying for us to bail them out?
At least that's what the news said.
They won't touch a Muslim terrorist because they know the Muslims would give them about five minutes to live. They think Americans are so stupid we'd stand by and let them take one of ours before their kangaroo court. How wrong they are.
Villages around Dubrovnic were Serbian. Croats were gradually expelling Serbian populations from this area and Serb militia was shooting back.
BTW, despite all those track tires burned for the benefit of Western media and few bullet holes Dubrovnik is in good condition. It is Serbfree so Croats should be happy. Only thing left to do is to remove the ruins of Serbian villages so it will not spoil the mood of Western tourists.
You Croats are very clever about economy, having Dalamatia for yourself will gain you billions in the future from German visitors. Congratulations, enjoy.
