Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

However, you are completely full of shit.
I am not portraying things in "black and white." I acknowledged that in Bosnia as in Palestine and Turkish Kurdistan, atrocities were committed by all sides. But using this reality to weasel out of recognizing the aggrieved party is a just a bogus propaganda trick. And portraying Milosevic as a defender of "socialism" (as the previous poster did) is pretty "black and white."
The 8,000 is "exaggerated"? Show us your evidence. Did you conduct a ten-year investigation with an international team of top forensic experts which has been accepted by every major human rights group in the world? Didn't think so. Get back to us when you have.
Did you really fail to grasp my sarcasm in "justifying" the US bombing of Serbia, and Oric's atrocities? You really didn't get that I was just exposing the flaws of my opponents' "logic" by inverting it? Or are you just being disingenuous?
I think Milosevic used Serbia as a base for attacks on Muslims because all the evidence and logic of the situation supports it. If there was a slight degree of deniability in the case of Bosnia, due to the (largely fictional) border between Serbia proper and the "Serb Republic," there was certainly no doubt in the case of Kosova, which is within Serbia. I think 800,000 refugees is pretty good evdience.
"Who started it"? The Bosnian Serb leadership "started it" by boycotting the referendum in '92, seceding and expelling the Muslims from their territory. Weren't you paying attention?
I do not buy your claims on Sarajevo being Serb-free, but—gee, what reason would the people of Sarajevo have to be angry at Serbs? The mind boggles.
I encourage comments, but this relentless fascistic Chetnik propaganda gets very, very tiresome.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

WAR AT THE CROSSROADS
An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural—a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers—from the Roman empire to NATO.
