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.

Ah yes, the Yugoslav constitution. That would be the same one that Milosevic had illegally altered in 1989—revoking the autonomy of Kosova without the approval of Kosova's parliament, and then brutally putting down the strikes and protests against this blatant usurpation. Resorting to the legalisms of the same document that your pal Slobodan had already torn up is a very poor argument indeed. By 1992, the Muslims and Albanians of Yugoslavia had only two alternatives: to be second-class citizens in Slobo's Greater Serbia or to exercise their inalienable human right to self-determination. Bosnia was the last best hope for the survival of a true Yugoslav spirit of a multi-national state. Unfortunately, the Bosnian Serb leadership was hijacked by Milosevic-allied thugs like Karadzic, who would not allow this at any cost.
Yes, the International Commission on Missing Persons did indeed determine that the overwhelming majority (at least) of 8,000 dead at Srebrenica were murdered in cold blood. The 800,000 refugees from Kosova is universally recognized by the UN, aid agencies and human rights groups.
But then, WRITING IN THE UPPER CASE AND USING DOUBLE EXCLAMATION POINTS MUST MEAN THAT YOU ARE RIGHT!!
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.

TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK:
LEGACY OF REBELLION
A Century and a Half of Protest & Resistance on New York's Lower East Side
A concise chronicle of the Tompkins Square riots of 1857, 1863 (Civil War draft riots), 1874, 1877 (national railroad strike), 1967 (hippies fight back) and 1988 (anarchists versus police state)—and how the battles over one small park in lower Manhattan have been a microcosm of the class and social struggles that have shaped America and the world.
Talk about "long and tiring"...
