There is a little more to the Yugoslavian wars than the msm spin. You do realize that the Serbs were fighting al-queda and that ethnic cleansing and murder of civilians was done by all sides.

No, he does not realize that. However, he probably means well and is not entirely informed on the issue. The Serbs did respond in a VERY horrible way to horrible acts against their people. The Serb’s actions have been dissected and scrutinized for years and the local Muslims and Croat actions have been ignored or whitewashed during the same period. The three parties were equally guilty of very egregious acts against humanity. The reason for the exposure of the Serb’s actions and the whitewashing of their adversary’s actions are open for debate.

You mean like in WWII? And how all sides were equally blamed in that conflict?

No, we blamed those who started the war, didn't we? Well, same here - it was Milosevic and the Serbs who got together and decided that they would like to create a Greater Serbia out of the disintegrating Yugoslavia. They were only able to do so because Serbs just happened to be in all the major positions in the Yugoslav military, and thus they easily got control of that country's war machine.
And what did they do with all that military power? Killing and destroying. The only war in Europe since WWII.
THAT'S why we're here today.
Those are the facts, ignore them if you want, history isn't.
