U.S. says Serbs still in denial over war crimes

[Hoplite]

The Serbian mythology of exclusive victimhood is itself victimizing the Serbs.

How perverse.

[oilfieldtrash]

Selective persecution, based on race.

[Destro]

So you have to be judged guilty before you can have a trail? Innocent before proven guilty no longer applies?

[lilylangtree]

Serbs were fighting a civil war. Atrocities were committed on BOTH sides.

[oolatec]

Yeah what about the crimes committed by Muslims that brought on that whole mess in the first place?

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Many in the US still refuse to admit the Klinton war crimes.

At least the Serbs were fighting against Al Qaida, not for it.

[joesnuffy]

We backed the wrong horse in this...as proven by 09-11
and continue to do so...

imo

[Restorer]

I got news for them.

All sides committed war crimes. It's a longstanding tradition in the Balkans.

[Alex Marko]

The Serbs need to be more cooperative with the international court on its former military generals. As does the KLA with Ceku and Haradinaj.

[Neoliberalnot]

Here here!. We bombed Serbian Christians to save the stinking Muslim drug-dealers and look what we got in return--9/11.

BELGRADE, May 12 (Reuters) - Most Serbs still do not believe their forces committed atrocities in Croatia, Bosnia or Kosovo, a senior United States diplomat said on Thursday, so the idea of holding war crimes trials in the country is problematic.

I'll tell you something real funny. I don't believe it either, and I don't even KNOW any Serbs. What I DO know is that in the eight-year reign of terror of the Klinton regime, only two groups of people ever really stood up to the beast and tried to face it down, and that was the Serbs, and the Mormons in Utah.

In my estimation those two groups should be honored for that and not punished for it. Here's hoping Condi Rice will manage to weed out the remaining Clintonistas at the state department and get that rogue agency under some semblence of adult supervision and control.

As for anybody stupid enough to go on believing slammite charges of ethnic cleansing or genocide against the Serbs, may they fall prey to every used car and aluminimum siding salesman within 1000 miles of where they live. People that stupid should be the lawful prey of the unscrupulous just as wildebeast are the lawful prey of lions.

I didn't read it, but i thought I saw a post saying some of the perps from 911 even trained with the Bosnians or Albanians.

I found this with a quick search.

When has innocent before proven guilty ever applied?

Innocent until proven guilty is a concept unique to the United States and our Constitution. As far as I know, anywhere else you appear in court presumed guilty and have to prove the negative. That's exactly why we should be very cautious about signing on to the World Court.

One other thing you might notice is that if there is any group of people in the world who might have a motive to do something like 9-11, it's the Serbs. Nonetheless, you don't read about Serbs doing anything like that. Ever wonder why?

Basically, Christians simply don't do things like that. Nobody does things like 9-11 for any sort of a cause. People do things like 9-11 because they're f***ed-up people. I-slam CREATES f***ed-up people and makes f***ed-up people out of normal people.

Basically, whenever you hear slammites accusing Christians of atrocities and war crimes, you're listening to

[tahotdog]

You dont believe it?

No.

I have seen the mass graves with my very eyes and smelt the stench.

And you sat there and listened to whatever the slammites wanted you to hear about who was in those mass graves and how they got there...

["The Serbs need to be more cooperative with the international court on its former military generals. As does the KLA with Ceku and Haradinaj."]

Well then, to be fair, so do the Croats with Gen. Gotovina.

[kahoutek]

Bingo. About a year ago I had a conversation with a muslim Kosovian now living here that phrased the Serb actions as a 'payback' for what the muslims did in the first place.
