AL-Jassas

 

JPII was a great man, but I fear he spent a lot of time of temporal matters than is befitting. Wrt to the Croats.

 

 

We'll start with what you said. The Serbs took over and killed most of the male population.

 

Here's a fuller story though very much abriviated.

 

Srebrenica was suppose to be a UN safe zone but instead the rebel bosniaks inside were given weapons by America to which they cunducted a murderous campaign of slaughter against the Serbs. The UN did nothing. Alija kept this provocation up and at the last moment pulled his top commanders out of Srebrenica. Why? As his own cabinet member stated, the America diplomat said that Clinton needed at least 5,000 dead muslims in Srebrenica before he could intervene. Slobodna Bosna confirms this sacrificial lamb tactic himself.

 

So how did it all go down?

 

 

The Serbs sent a small force of some 200 men with a few tanks. Some of the Bosniaks wanted to stay others wanted to go to Tuzla in the north. When the Serbs saw the Bosniaks simply retreating and offering only small resistance they pushed in. Further north of Srebrenica the Bosniaks took many civilians with them, armed whoever could carry weapons and went north through Serb territory. The Serbs and Bosniaks fought and because the Bosniaks gave their superior defensive position they had to run from ambush to ambush being destroyed by the Serbs. The people died in open combat on both sides. It is funny that you mention "most of the male population" when only 2,000 bodies have been found from both sides, from Srebrenica, a town with a population of 40,000. Even the non sense claim of 8,000 wouldn't mean most of the male population.

 

It is also interesting to note that the bosniak force SW of Srebrenica was ordered to stand down and not help the Bosniaks in Srebrenica itself. Again all part of Alija's sympathy tactic.

 

As for your claims that people were raped, murdered, etc, i don't disagree. It happens in all wars. But the fairy tales of these supposed evil war mongering Serbs is complete non sense. The biggest war criminal in Srebrenica is Naser Oric. Sorry but there just isn't proof of 8,000 dead men executed in cold blood the head lines like to read out. It just isn't there.

 

Examples like what you gave about Croatia only shows how deep the corruption lies. There is no middle ground in justice. I'm tired to hear "well all the sides were bad." No, one side was clearly wronged, while another side was put up on a pedastool. You ask for justice from the west concerning Krajina Serbs...i mean no disrespect but this is just childish. How will the Americans and Germans ever admit to Krajina when it was they themselves that provided air cover and logistical support to the Croatians to carry out the SINGLE LARGEST ACT OF ETHNIC CLEANSING IN EUROPE since ww2. Even if the Srebrenica fairy tale the west spins is completely true, tens of Srebrenicas happened to the Serbs in Krajina but nobody gives a damn. We're all too busy to actually read the facts and just go by hear say. It's really disapointing to see people here who have a passion for history to make some of the comments they did on the first page. "hear hear another war criminal caught!"

Besides, under what rules this trial will operate?

I defend him in a minute if I was offered. The guy I worked with was part of the Milosovich "advisors" that the court appointed. For two three years anyway.

 

 

Of course if the new guy; Bummerst or whatever his name is, who is head prosecutor at the ICTY, is any thing like Del Ponte.............. Karadzic would get off.

 

 

Before 1994 the european countrys were generally supportive of Serbia (usually in the guise of Yugoslavia).

 

As for the second part, I am i) not interested in whether or not you"have faith" and ii) far too busy to look over my old laptop and notebooks to find the necessary stuff though I have iii) given supporting evidence to back up all my claim which; iv) you have chosen not to believe.
