BOSNIA Recently released secret documents reveal that in the first days of the war, Muslim paramilitary leaders murdered scores of Bosnian Serb civilians in Sarajevo.
"First days of the war" would be around April 1992 - how can one say that the Serbs reacting to these kind of actions by the Muslims - is based on simply WWII history. Muslims and Croats were acting afresh and clear and present danger, not that of the past, was the situation for Bosnian Serbs.
Sarajevo was advertised by the media as being multicultural, but liquidating the civilian Serbs of that city at the get go and at that pace already, is genocidal.
NO it isn't, this would be a cerical-fascist or a fundamentalist islamist crime. Read Tudjman's statement mentioned in the Jerulasem Post or the quotes of Alija Izetbegovic's book 'Islamska declaracija" again.

NEVER! Serbs can forgive.

No.
It was not about what these countrymen were doing decades ago, but what they were doing at the begining of the 1990's. The unconstitutional declaration of independence in Croatia and Bosnia, against the will of the Serbian people in these Republics. Degrading the Serbian nation from the status of a constituent nation to a marginal minority. Finally establishing artificial borders between Serbs and Serbs (just think of the Drina) und thus carving up the coherent areas with majority serb population in the former Yugoslvia. In regard to everything mentioned above, the memories of WWII and the genocide experienced by the Serbs did play a significant role in shapping their political and military attitude towards their enemies in the 1990's. And don't forget the 500 years of ottoman occupation and muslim oppression. Never again.
