Milosevic's Memory Snubbed by Most Serbs
Charter News ^ | 03-17-06 | WestVirginiaRebel

BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro (AP)-His arriving coffin was left in the rain while airport officials signed paperwork. Its muted public display has drawn a fraction of the huge crowds he commanded in his heyday.

Slobodan Milosevic's memory and legacy are being unceremoniously snubbed by countrymen who blame the late Serbian leader for ruining the republic.

And the Slobbo apologists can't hide the fact that his own people couldn't stand him. Including his supporters from the days when he was a Commie thug before he became a Nationalist thug.

If the Nazis had won WW2 there wouldn't have been many Americans willing to tell the Nazi media how much they liked FDR.

According to his apologists, George Soros paid the people to turn against Slobo.

And he pays the DU to bash Bush. He's the biggest cash cow for the Democrats. It's a no brainer of what happened in the Balkans.

Biggest blunder we committed in supporting Islamic radicals in Bosnia and Kosovo.

I fail to see what that has to do with anything.

That's why I referred to Slobo as FR's Favorite Commie. In a just world, he should have gotten the Ceausescu treatment from his own people, instead of that sham trial in The Hague.

And some people think that in a just world Bush should be strung up for responding too harshly to Islamic terrorism. Fortunately, those people are not in control today like they were in the 1990s.

I believe the Serbians are orthodox. I'm not sure what TYPE of orthodox.
They are not catholic...in fact one of the groups targeted by Slobbo for ethnic cleansing were the catholic Croats.

Where did you get that nonsense from. Milosevic targeted no one. Lots of MSM demagoguery. The 5 year tribunal record refuted all the charges.

Check the video archives. I was astounded how corrupt the EU, UN, and Nato were.

I heard it from the Croats who were surrounded by the Serbs in Mostar.
The Croats and Muslims were trapped in the city - the guys in the hills were fighting under Slobbo.

I'm calling it a night.
The statement from this young serbian coincides with what I learned while I was in Mostar.

http://www.globalpolicy.org/intljustice/tribunals/yugo/2003/testimony.htm

I've seen the graves - I've spoken to Croats who lost their loved ones,and who nearly starved to death in Mostar while they were surrounded by snipers.
Somehow I get the feeling none of this will have any affect on your opinion.

Oh well.

The funny thing that the Clintonistas still don't get is that the Serbs themselves were on their way to doing a Ceausescu on Slobodan until the NATO bombings made it look as if he were standing against the West for something noble.

If Halfbright would have been half bright, most of the problems could have been solved with the stroke of a pen.

But that would have prevented Clinton from having the US put on the kneepads to appease the jihadist.

Well stated. Ive been called every name in the book for calling Slobo what he was.

You have no clue "what he was". You just regurgitate what TV and Hollywood planted in your mind
