( I always thought cloning was a recent innovation, until I saw the reaction of the US senate and congress to Sharon's latest holocaust.)

If you think that that killing somewhere between 100 and 1000 in weeklong battles with terroritst hiding among civilians is a "holocaust", you have no concept of what the Holocaust was.

Tudjman instituted Fascist economic policies.
Tudjman made the new Croatian flag the same one they had under the Nazis.
Under Tudjman, the Croats expelled all of the Serbs of the Krajina region.

Thanks for your, as usual, well thought out reply.

However, now I see where you are coming from, you support communists whatever they do. Milosevic=communist, Arafat=communist, and for you, a fellow communist can do no wrong.

Would "what goes around comes around" be appropriate a comment?

No. The axiom should be that bribing the allies of your enemy is pointless.

What was it that Bismark said about the bones of a Pomeranian Grenadier?

I was wrong about the flag. I checked my source and it ended up being a leftist site.
As for economics, Corporatism is essentially soft fascism.
AS for the region many, including the US state Department call Krajina, the Serbs were expelled. As for the rest, I rather not go into it because I don't know enough.

"Communist occupation"??? You should erect a 20m Tito statue in every hamlet, village, town and city... and while you're at it, erect some in memory of Slobodan Miloshevich. He's done more for Croatia than Tudjman.

Yup. What do you think it was? Liberation?

Of course it was - Croatia got off the hook scot-free; was never held accountable for the genocide the Ustashe had committed; was never held accountable for Yasenovats and Gradishka; Croatia never paid the price for the misery it had caused to millions in Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Srem/Serbia. You simply took off your Nazi uniforms, put the red star on your caps and lived on as if nothing had happened. Wasn't that liberation?

If it was so bad, why didn't you get out in 1945? 1955? 1965? Hmmm?

For what? To thank him for slaughtering tens of thousands of Croats? For crushing our Spring in 1971? For sending our best to prison on Goli Otok?

Nope. To thank him for the abovementioned liberation and getting away with genocide. Your Spring of 1971? So, you admit that Croatians had been working against the common state all along - just like in WWII? 1971 was the red flag. Serbia should've packed her sh_t, taken half the army, half the money and called it a day then and there.

As for Goli Otok, Serbian capitalists, the intelligentsia, other prominent pre-WWII Serbians by far outnumbered everyone else there.

Tudjman freed Croatia from Yugoslavia and liberated the country in 1995. I'd say that's one hell of an achievement.

Sure. If it hadn't been for the U.S. Army and Arkansas Beelzebubba, Croatia would've never - never - won. Some Croatian army! Going against half-paralyzed 80-year-olds and children must've been really tough. It's not over yet. There's still time to make things right. There are other means.

Sharon and Milosevic have a few things in common, unsubstantiated charges against them. The only mass graves found in the Balkins have been filled with Serb bodies, killed by terrorist muslims yet no charges have been leveled against the animal in charge of the Albanians over there.

I don't know that Milosevic wasn't a communist idiot, but war criminal? I don't see the evidence. Sharon is a great man willing to sacrifice himself for the nation he loves, he is Israel's George Patton. The airial veiws of Jenin do not support claims that the place has been leveled. A couple of hundren bodies, does not a massacre make, especially when the body count hasn't even reached 75 yet. And half of those had bomb belts on.

This author wishes that America would fall for his spin, but it ain't gonna happen.

Then tell me about it. You sure are not going to get much out of the media about the situation. I know for sure they have found mass graves with Serbs in them, did Serbia retaliate or start it?

Why are we on Al Queda's side in the Balkins, and fighting them in Afganistan? I don't believe European press, or American in regards to Israel, they have proven themselves liars, why are they suddenly pure about their reporting about the Balkins?

What I have heard is that Muslims were raining terror down in Serbia, just as they are every where else in the world they infest, and the Serbs decided to throw them out or kill them. That I have every evidence to not only believe, but applaud.

Didn't bother to read the article (propoganda) but here's my answer: Sharon has hired better PR firms.
