All I can see from your "red text" was that the Eeeeevil Muslims had the temerity to fight back. Actually, they didn't. The reason you guys triumphed for the first year or so of the war was that they couldn't really believe that Karadzic really meant it when he threatened to wipe out every Muslim in Bosnia. (I mean, come on now, who WOULD believe a threat of genocide?) It took a year of ethnic cleansing before they figured out he meant what he said. Once they DID figure that out, and got arms, they kicked you guys' butts.

As for Bihac..... So--Serbs take a safe area and kill every male in it (Sreb). Bosniacs take a safe area and occupy it, but some within the area flee, others stay, and nobody gets massacred (Bihac). You see no difference.

To you, everything the Croats and Bosniacs did in the war was aggression; everything the Serbs did was perfectly OK. I'm reminded of a kid I knew in elementary school who regarded the lunch money in smaller children's pockets as his and severely beat same until they gave him "his" lunch money. Except in the case at bar we're not talking about a thug child, we're talking about a thug nation: Serbia All The Way To The Pacific.

I lived in Bosnia for two and a half years. Every time I travelled through the Republika Srpska I encountered hate propaganda: SU MA SRPSKA, SMRT MUSILIMANSAMI, the Four-C Swastika (no, I *don't* mean sister-in-law), etc, spraypainted every-damn-where. Nowhere in the Federation did I *ever* see anything similar (with the exception of the WELCOME TO REPUBLIKA SRPSKA signs I saw covered in red paint).

Fact is, yous boys gots an attitude problem. You Don't Play Well With Others or Make and Keep Friends. That would be okay, if you didn't do things like, oh, Kravica. One's freedom to do a stiff armed seig-hiel salute ends at the tip of the nose of ones neighbor. You forgot that, and now must pay the price of once more being losers.

Don't worry. There are worse fates than losing to the US. You could have lost to Germany. Again.

Have you read the Communist Washington Times article about Clinton - have you read what he has supported; read again an another Communist paper - the Washington Post about Operation "Storm":

"the largest instance of ethnic cleansing in the entire Balkan wars"

"In the face what U.N. observers in Croatia call the largest instance of ethnic cleansing in the entire Balkan wars, where were the moralist who for years have been so loudly decrying the ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims. Where were the cries for block the demand for arms, the call to action on behalf of today a pitiful victims. There were the columnists, the senators, the other posturors who excoriate the West for standing by when Bosnian Muslims are victimised and are silent when the victim of the day is Serb?"

"ETHNIC CLEANSING THAT'S CONVENIENT"
Editorial in the Washington Post, August 1995,
the week of Croatian invasion of Krajina,
by Charles Krauthammer

And compare this two nice pictures carefully:


1941-1945: The greatest genocide during World War II, in proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia. In the years 1941-1945 some 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 25,000 Gypsies - men, women and children - perished in a gigantic holocaust. This picture represents what Ante Pavelic, Andrija Artukovic and approximately 76 priests and monks left behind when they fled after debacle of Croatia in 1945.


1991-1995: Just as in the Nazi created puppet state of Croatia, fifty years later another genocide took place in the new state of "democratic Croatia". These Serbs in the Gospic Christian Orthodox graveyard of Siroka Kula were among the first to fall victim at the hands of the Croatian Ustashe. On two nights between October 16 and 18 1991, 24 Serbs were slain and burned in Perusic near Gospic, Croatia. Again, neither women nor children were spared.

Teritorial distribution of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina (according to settlements) according to the population census on March 31, 1981

Ethnic structure of the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina (according to settlements) according to the population census on March 31, 1981

Private ownership of land of those households whose head of the family is of Serbian nationality in percents in Bosnia and Herzegovina (according to settlements) according to the population census on March 31, 1981

Teritorial distribution of Serbs in Croatia (according to settlements) according to the population census on March 31, 1981

Please note, these are maps from 1981. They represent the result of the genocide perpetrated against serbs during WWII. Otherwise the serbs would populate an even larger and more coherent area today. Unfortunately your pals got away unpunished for the ustasha-genocide in WII and were even encouraged to continue with in the 1990's. What you are lamenting about is the fact that the serbs resisted against beeing exterminated by their enemies in the 1990's.

As Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina claimed the right to self-determination to seperate from Yugoslvia, the serbs of Krajina and Republika Srpska in response claimed their right to self-determination and secession from the newly created statelettes. That right was denied to the serbs from the begining on, no negotiations were offered, it was just prohibited by Tudman, Izetbegovic, Genscher... and so the doors for an armed conflict were openend. Not to mention, that the secession of Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina were unconstitutional in the first place and against the declared will of the serbian population, a constituent people, within those republics.

Stavka2, who served in Bosnia, claimed the Croats marked their properties with Swastikas. Do you say otherwise?

Who would believe that? Why Izobegavich would, the very man who headed up the Young Muslims Movement, meant on erredication of all none Muslims from Bosnia...for that Tito shot half the leadership and threw Izo and the rest in a jail for 16 years....oh, or didn't you think people knew that little bit of history? Darned, how those nifty facts come out to bugger you proper.
