And what does Croatia have to do with it? Serbs did it. Operation 'Storm' that was made in cooperation with US was some kind of answer to it so that another Srebrenica wouldn't happen in Bihac.

Originally posted by YogiAlmost 1900 people got killed AFTER operation and it was done by Croatians, but not by army but by paramilitary forces that just wanted to burn villages and kill people. That wasn't ordered by government or done by Gotovina and Markac who were released last week.

Originally posted by Risto:I may have been confusing, I dont really care about the ICC's verdicts. I am sure people got what they deserved.

But a whole population has been punished for things largely out of their hands. But nobody seems to mind that 90 000 innocent people were driven away from their homes or are not given their independence just because they are Serb.

The US was really glad with your cooperation, putting a bounty on your generals for war crimes

Systematic picking the 'right' vilages to burn matches the description imho. So still genocide, and i named it one of the biggest single acts, not the biggest. Which I know was Sebrenica.

Anyway I wont discuss this anymore, shouldnt have anyway. No need in dragging this all up. People died who shouldnt, just wish we didnt make the distinction between Jew, Palestine, Serb, Croat, Black or White just because it is easy.

It was 250.000 actually, not 90.000. Part of them did return, some didn't. But I hope they will one day.

Allegedly thousands of Muslims were killed in Myanmar in few last months... Some people are even pointing their finger towards Aung San Suu Kyi because she's not speaking about this...
