“Wow. By far the most stupid claim I’ve read this week. Croatia was run by the local (Croatian) offshoot of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia itself was run by a Croat communist (Tito).”

Communism is evil. Why should it not be overthrown? Also, I think you’re kidding yourself as to who “ran” Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Croatia had to force Serbian troops out of its country. They were there in the guise of the Yugoslavian army: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/croatia.htm
“I think your paranoia is getting in the way of historical facts.”

I think you imagine paranoia when you have no argument or facts.

“Serbia should have never helped these ingrates in the first place. Bar none, the biggest mistake ever made by Serbia was the decision to form a common state with Croats and Slovenes.”

I don’t see how it was ever help to the Croats and Slovenes to dominate them in a state they didn’t want in the first place. Serbia will never realize its vain dreams of a Greater Serbia.

This is good. There were NO Serbian troops in existence. Hadn't existed since 1918. There were federal troops - at the time commanded by (mostly) Croat generals. Yugoslavia's Government itself was headed by a Croat prime minister (A. Markovich).

I just gave you the facts and then some.

Ha-ha. Pull the other one. This line is about a hundred years old and it's as ridiculous now as it was then. It was used by Austria-Hungary to deflect attention from their own expansionism (such as the annexation of Serbian-majority Bosnia in 1908).
