Reply #2: Crap. Yugoslavia fell apart under the pressure of neoliberal

[eridani]

--economic policies. And Milosevic was not the only bad guy. Itzbegovic of Bosnia and Tudjman of Croatia were fucking NAZIS. Not generic lefty swearword Nazis, but honesttogod genuwine leftover World War II Nazis, who had cheerfully aided and abetted the Nazi extermination of 500,000 Serbians.

The US ambassador started the Bosnian war, by urging Itzbegovic not to sign an agreement that would have formalized ethnic spheres of influence there. And after all the goddam bloodshed, what we wound up with was a treaty that ratified essentially the same spheres of influence!

And if the proposed ethnic cleansing of Kosovo to protect the Serbian minority there was supposed to have been bad, why was the same damned thing (Tudjman ethnically cleansing the Krajina of Serbs to protect a Croatian minority) good enough to rate US military contractor aid which insured its rousing success?
