When I'm looking to have another laugh, I'll let you know. Until then, do yourself a favor and just keep what passes for thoughts in that empty noggin of yours to yourself.
Not an international business guru. I deal in international business. The middle class in America is in tough times - the immigrants America is getting are sapping not strengthening America and vetrans of the Bosnian Muslim Army carried out 9/11.
Right, but here are some facts:
1. Slobodan Milosevic wasn't elected, but appointed at the time of NATO aggression.
2. His position has been jeopardized many times, let's just mention March the 9th, '91., spring of '93., fall/winter of '96/'97., April '98., etc. So, once before the shooting actually started, and once during the war itself. And at least two times before Kosovo. I can't remember Tudjman and/or Izetbegovic having a similar experience. Oh yeah, and remember how he got through the '96/'97 crisis? Dick Holbrooke and "factor of peace and stability in the region"?
3. One man couldn't start a war by himself, nor could one man be an excuse to go to war, regardless how evil or "evil" he is.
4. Now that you mentioned it, "elected" you say? Like in democracy? IIRC you once said (quoted, actually) "democracies don't wage wars on other democracies". So which shall it be, elected or self-appointed?
The RTS tower, if you'll remember, has the distinction of being one of the targets we notified the Serbs of in advance
By whom? Jamie Shea and his famous nine o'clock hit list?
which is why there have been lawsuits in Serbia where the relatives of the dead have sued the management who were notified of the impending strike but ordered the employees to go to work anyway.
And which were dismissed. I believe they filed one at EU court after that.
Dragoljub Milanovic, the director of RTS during Allied Force, was found guilty by a Serbian district court in 2002 of intentionally placing low-level employees at risk in an effort to increase the number of civilian casualties and discredit NATO.
Not exactly, he was charged with general disregard of safety regulations involving wartime and federal property, not that particular incident.
Also, it's the same legal system that dropped charges against Nato leaders. Not much of an independent court, right? Dancing to the music of powers that be.
Oh yeah, in an unrelated event, after Milanovic got sentenced, MPAA decided not to press charges against RTS and other state-owned media (TV stations) for severe copyright infringements.
But let's put it aside. NATO had no right to bomb RTS building, end of story. Whether it warned them in advance or not is irrelevant. Osama and his cronies talked about bringing war to American soil for years. So, can we conclude that they're not responsible for 9/11 simply because they warned in advance?
But leave it to the courts to decide. As you may know, relatives of the killed also sued several NATO countries before their very own courts.
How lucky for them they're not destabilizing Southern Europe, like Milosevic was...
He wasn't. Dick Holbrooke said so (see above). Or you think you're smarter than Dick?
Sarajevo: It was a Civil War, nothing more, nothing less. Painting the issue as a religious conflict is blatantly stupid.
Perhaps, but society has been divided along religious lines. Therefore, one could say that it was a religious conflict. You had muslims ("Bosniacks"), catholics (Croats), and orthodox chrs. (Serbs) fighting each other, one against other two. Also, Albanians are muslim. Actually, there were some nonreligious moments during the conflict, such as Fikret Avdic and his men (Bosnian muslims) fighting along Serbs vs. Izetbegovic's Bosnian muslims and Croats. And in Kosovo, it was pretty much Albanians vs. everyone else, regardless of their ethnic or religious background.
