It's from the episode where bart joins the scouts and has to read a book to pass a test before he gets his scout-knife, and homer is teasing him with "smartiesmart is reading his bookiebook!".

Sure, read something else huh, it's a dirty dirty game. Serbs have been mauled by the red machine, won't be going there for a quite some time. As I said earlier I know people that were there, it will make your ears bleed. We backed the wrong folks and the rest is show.

As you said earlier you know someone who is clearly a scumbag who shares your hatred of people who are of a certain faith . Big deal .

So.... It's OK for Serb loonies to massacre innocent Bosnians because there are Bosnian loonies who want to massacre innocent Serbs?

They didn't want to massacre, they massacred. Subtle, yet important distinction. I think the point is that good guys/bad guys routine can't be applied here. Overall strategy of all sides was ethnic cleansing, by intimidation and forced relocation. Murders and massacres were byproducts of that strategy rather than the main goal. But I don't want to venture off topic to much.

Today it was first appearance of Karadzic at the Hague. He didn't enter a plea, partly because he didn't study have the time to study the indictment properly and partly because the prosecution is already preparing a new, bigger one. I don't know what new information the prosecution have now that they didn't have in the last ten years, but it will be interesting to see.

Also, Karadzic spoke publicly about a deal with Richard Holbrooke under which he was supposed to leave politics and public life in general and not appear in the Hague. Public opinion in Serbia for years was that some kind of a deal with the US existed, mainly because there was no pressure from the tribunal to find him. Every couple of weeks there were statements or visits from the Hague to remind and put pressure that Mladic get's there, but there was no pressure for Karadzic. He was scarcely even mentioned.

This is gonna be interesting to watch. I hope that they continue with live broadcast.

The whole of the Balkans just makes me think of and endless series of MTW:

"Faction Re-emergence"

messages. It's the ultimate in whack-a-mole....

Hey, here's an idea, why not shoot those who massacre people, instead of shooting innocent people!
