Farce? Could it be that Obama took office and then learned a few things about this 'farce'? He didnt end it because he had an "oh shit Bush was right" moment.

That wasn't what you were saying in your post either. You were making it sound like it was all of the U.S.'s decision, and especially the military.
Oh, and BTW, you should read my post again, I was saying it was Bush's decision to go to war, and it was.
Obama and Bush the same? Really? Which countries did Obama invade again? Libya? No, wouldn't call it that.

Blame the US for everything.

Nothing yet, but I guess that you read/watch news and there probably will be some kind of military action.

I can sit here and say that urinating on the enemy is wrong but then again, I haven't been to war, fought in a tough environment against a seemingly elusive opponent and lost friends in battle. In the shoes of someone who has been there, I guess it all comes down to the mentality of the soldier. I'm sure they don't sign up to simply humiliate other humans.

I'm sure it's a great deal economically for your country, you'll probably get money from it, unlike the rich countries like mine that lose money by being a member.

I meant to ask how should I vote on referendum because I'm getting very skeptical about the whole situation in EU. And Croatia is still to weak economically ...
Ante Gotovina is there for years already, and he in fact might be released. IMO; he didn't commit any crimes, he's just there because our first president Tuđman is dead and therefore cannot be judged.
