Why is it that every one of these break away states had "a bloody war with Serbia" and no one else? Could it be that the Serbians did want to control the former YR as has been contended? Could it be that the Serbians used ethnic cleansing tactics as has been proven in Bosnia? I know the Croatians got their hands quite bloody as well, so I am not going to defend them either, but to defend the Serbians to me seems ludicrous.
The Croats ALWAYS wanted an ethnically pure Croatia and always murdered Serbs in the wars - WWI, WWII, and the last one. They (and their diaspora from Australia, Canada, U.S. etc.) also perpetrated terrorist acts against Serbs, "Yugoslavs", and others for the cause of an independent Croatia in the decades between WWII and the recent war.
The Croats killed at least one American (non-Serb) in the 1970's - a TWA pilot and/or a cop.
In Bosnia you had over 30% Serb population plus many "Yugoslavs" who were ethnic Serbs who didn't want to live under Muslim-Croat domination. The Bosnian Muslims were sending men for training and involvement in Croatia's war in 1991. "Bosniaks" feature in some of the accounts of atrocities done to Serbs. A Croat named Miro Bajramovic, who in 1997, confessed freely to Croat journalists, and told of the massacres and killings his unit, under commander Tomislav Mercep, did in Gospic and other areas of Croatia in 1991. The actual killer of the 12-year-old Serb girl - Aleksandra Zec - he named as a Muslim. The same Muslim was involved in harassing the tortured Serb prisoners before they were killed and other murders.
