The original article is no longer available from the WaPo. In the wars we have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the enemy also claims that it has no soldiers. They simply organize civilians to kill our troops mostly as suicide bombers or by planting IEDs. Our soldiers die one way or the other. If the Islamofascisti wish to kill our soldiers or our civilians, it does not really matter. The proper response is to slaughter them.

Nuns in the WW II era would seem likely non-combatantsas victims. Those 95% of the "Serb Partisans" whom you claim were not communist were apparently led by communists). I don't care what their personal opinions were, I care who they worked for. I have no idea who the "chatniks" are or were in the context of WWII in the Balkans. Nor apparently does the internet since the term is only referenced as one dealing with those who like to chat on the internet.

If the "Serb Partisans" who did the work of the reds helped to usher in the tyranny of Tito, then they deserved to die before they could accomplish such a goal. If they were Serbian enemies of freedom, they were also Serbian enemies of Serbian freedom. and this questionable term: "anti-fascist guerilla forces sounds like TitoSpeak in Tito's days as a Stalinist footstool.

It looks like there is an overdose of "Serbian nationalism" that refuses to recognize the communist roots of much of the leadership of Serbia post-WW II until Slobbo was taken out. If that communism does not bother you, that is on you. Stepinac was a saint and will ultimately canonized. He was no nazi (whatever Tito's agitprop would have us believe) and certainly no communist as were the Serbian leaders.

At this late date, we have no idea whether the WaPo article referenced soldiers or not. Fortunately, it makes no difference. A communist stooge is a communist stooge is a communist stooge.

I am partially Irish and I identify with that part of my ancestry. I do NOT defend either the Maoist or the Stalinist wing of the Irish Republican Army of modern times. A communist thug or stooge is a communist thug or stooge is a communist thug or stooge. Same principle, different country. Right now, I am rather ripped at the Irish liberal dummies who run its government. Just because I am Irish does not mean that I will shut my eyes to evils perpetrated by Irish. May that serve as an example for you on matters Serbian. As my mother used to say, there is good and bad in all kinds.

Blessed Alois Cardinal Stepinac, pray for them.
