"On Christmas of 1993, his units attacked Kravica, killing 46 and wounding another 36 soldiers and civilians, all Serbs. Dani quoted witnesses as saying that some residents of Srebrenica not only took part in the killing of innocent Serb civilians, but also described their crimes with no pity for the victims." Ah, the Near Legendary Christmas Day (6 Jan) 93 massacre. Yep. Forty six dead in combat. That's why the Serb leaders chose the spot to massacre the men from Srebrenica. They'd been lied to so much by their own propagandists that they were convinced they had to do this. Lies are like that you know.
Fact is, the Serbs killed the boys at Sreb for the same reason the Brits burned Joan of Arc: they couldn't get over the fact that they kept kicking Serb butts over and over and over again.
So remind me again: how does the death of 46 in combat justify the massacre in cold blood of thousands of disarmed prisoners?

Funny, an interpretor of mine, a former Yugoslav airforce cadet and former Bosniak infantry 1st LT told me all about how they fought. About how all Bosnian men were taken from their shops and farms, given an AK with a magazine of 10 rounds...if they hit once they were ready for the front. Then they gathered up in groups of 400-500 against entrenched Serbs...stood, yhelled Allah Akbar and body waved...but I'm sure you'll call that Serb massacres...what ever. Most of the Sebrenici dead where shown to have bullet holes in the front from distances not point blank...might as well accuse the Germans of mass murderer at Verdun.
