Excuse me but what exactly did Tudjman do thats so bad? Why does he deserve to be in the same category as Arkan or Karadzic or Milosevic? Did he kill tens of thousands people? No. Did he rape women? No. Did he loot homes? No. He was a good president who was only protecting his country from aggression and his only concern was to do what was best for his people. Any president would have done the same in his shoes.

ZaDomSpremni, it's something called commanding responsibility. And as I have heard, Tudjman even gave a green light (as was recently exposed in Croatia) to the killings, not doing anything particular to stop them. I am talking about civilians not the legitimate defense against JLA or the Serb paramilitary forces. I know and saw very well what was going on in Croatia, what the forces of Martic (and even Mladic in one case) did there or some of JLA, what happened in Vukovar and elsewhere. But revenge against civilians and driving people from their homes because of their nationality (even though they were not necessarily involved in any killings) is wrong. And I blame only those responsible and those that were commanding them. And that does not mean that the whole HV was responsible or all the leading politicians in Croatia. Just as all in Serbia were not supporting Milosevic and his policy or that all JNA units were involved in war crimes. But those responsible (whoever they are) must face with their actions. That is all. I am not demonizing anyone, or saying that he is by default guilty. Only those that are proven so and there is evidence. Be that in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia or anywhere else.
