Yes, he did -- by inviting back all the symbols of genocidal WWII Nazi Croatia... the flag, the money, and the exiled war criminals who were installed into positions of power. And then by restoring the same alliance with Germany that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies the last time around. And then adding to that list of victims with Operation Storm, killing and driving out thousands of unarmed, innocent Serb civilian victims from the Krajina.
If you call that being "a good Catholic", then I think God would be more pleased with "a tree worshipper"!
I feel sorry for the Croat Catholic with a soul (my cousin was one), who now has to deal with the fact that "the Father of his Country" was a murderous, goose-stepping, Neo-Nazi war criminal. How can anything ever be right when it was founded on something so wrong and evil?
Germany, with Tudjman's help, resurrected Croatia for its own purposes. You can revel in that only because "the bill for German services" has not yet been presented. Wait until it is. And then will Croatia join Germany against the US as it has two World Wars before? Probably!
You mean there are actually those who admire a pro-Nazi fascist Ustashas like Tudjman still around and post here?
He was responsible for the massacreing of thousands of fellow Christian Serbs...he is a beastly monster and God (or Satan) only knows where his soul lies writhing.
Nothing wrong with allying with Germany since it isn't the Nazi state but an American ally and a Western democracy.
As for "Krajina", there is no such place considering that the Vojna Krajina was disbanded in 1881 and that it always had a Croatian majority, and Knin was never part of "Krajina" anyway.
How could Tudjman be a "neo-nazi" when he himself fought the Axis as an antifascist partizan?
Your knowledge of history sucks.
against the US as it has two World Wars before? Probably!
Ouch!
Good broadside shot!!
Take care,
