Actually, you are right. Now that I think about it, yes, Serbia received a larger share of the blame in the press than it was due.
But not enormously so.
The wars were recognised as having many sides, and it was perfectly clear Tudjman, Izbetgovic and others were scum just as much as Milosovic.

None of which exonerates Serbia's 'we didn't do it, and besides, the others did it too'.


You and Sarmatian bring up excellent and controversial points. I can not possibly answer all of them point-by-point. Besides, a 'quote-rebuttal; quote-rebuttal; etc' post is unreadable for third parties. Instead, I've filled the thread with some more general thoughts and links.

And instead of posting more links (and I've got some great one's up my sleeve!) I have a challenge for you and Sarmatian. Can you get yourselves to openly say: 'Yes, Srebrenica was a human disaster. An atrocity. Serbia(ns) were responsible for mass murder. I deplore this.'

I mean, in all these Serbian threads, in all these posts, all I ever hear is 'Serbia didn't do this, Serbia didn't do that'. I have never once heard any acceptence of atrocities committed by Serbians. Which wouldn't be all that important, if only I wouldn't think it so telling of the Serbian discourse.

Because every little injustice that befell Serbia is endlessly explored. Every atrocity that bears a faint resemblance to some similar foreign atrocity is only discussed as proof of hypocricy. Every Serb who died is meticulously mentioned. Name 'Srebrenica' and either of these Serbian reactions is possible:
- It didn't happen (50% of Serbians believe it didn't happen at all)
- Look! Here is a picture of a Serbian child who died four years later.
- It wasn't 8000. Only 4000 bodies have so far been discovered yet!!
- Foreign agitation caused it. NATO, the US, Europe, the Turks.

Never do I ever hear even a simple 'Serbians killed many'.
