So disenfranchising millions of Kosovar Albanians through extralegal machinations and usurping their Federal vote is not a crime?
1/3 (prewar population) of these "disenfranchised" Alabanians were illegal aliens. Great, let's allow every illegal immigrant in the US a vote so the democrats can actually have chance in 04. Let's subsidize Southern California, Texas, Arizona and Florida and make it one big welfare State. C'mon Hoppy, your nonsensical tripe comes straight out of the Jamie Shea handbook of cliches.
Not in Milosevic's Yugoslavia - which is exactly why it disintegrated.
LOL!!!! Yugoslavia began desintigrating the moment Tito's carcass was buried. You mean to tell me that you think Tito's Yugoslavia was democratic and didn't usurp the Albanian vote(forget the fact that Serbs lived their too, right Hoplite? Serbs don't count I suppose!)? You would have made a great communist Hoplite! LOL!!!
Milosevic had Rugova to work with, opted for continued repression, and wound up losing Kosovo when he played right into the KLA's hands by loosing his forces on K-Albanian civilians.
Excellent, we have an admission by Hoplite! We already know what really transpired there, Wraith buried you on this issue a while ago, get over it. So, Albanian loyalists being murdered by the KLA really didn't amount to much eh? Thaci is on the run from the ICTY for links to war crimes and his henchmen are being reigned in and still somehow you manage to pull the Serb factor out of your arse.
Milosevic was warned about his repression in Kosovo back in the first Bush administration but could and still can, apparently, count on support for failed policies conducted in the face of worldwide opprobium.
Sounds like Bush Jr. is having a rather dubious time with world opinion at the moment, hypocricy moves in mysterious ways Hoppy!
You're always good for a few laughs Hoppy! :-D
Given that the Slovenians haven't had to recover their murdered kin from Police training grounds in Belgrade, they made exactly the right decision.
Allow me to refresh your memory, Firewall - Tito said "the worse, the better" and mounted attacks upon German troops in Yugoslavia in WW2 as a means of utilizing the German's response to his advantage - had the Germans not been the arrogant mass murdering idiots they were, Tito would not have enjoyed any success with his strategy and Mihailovic would have been in a stronger position after the Germans decamped and Serbia would have been the de-facto strongest Balkan power post WW2 and not had to bother with Tito's experiment in Brotherhood and Unity.
You do not remember the past, and you have unknowingly relived it wearing the other side's shoes.
