Re: Why Ohioguy is quiet
yeah folks let's not forget that when the bleeding heart Europeans were trying to discover if they had gonads it was USA that saved bosnians from the Serb thugs and it was USA again that helped Kosovo get independence
Stir up the fire in this region is by European hands only. Think again!
I would like to quote some comments on this very conflict from a poster (this poster is no means a Serb nor a sympathizer of them) on blog, which pretty much sums up of what I know:

There are so many problems with US involvement in Yugoslavia, one hardly knows were to begin. I would even go so far as to say that the US played a part in re-igniting old conflicts and encouraging the breakdown of Yugoslavia, mainly because of the complete lack of influence over the region. Yugoslavia being untouchable and dangerously socialist under Tito. But that is an entirely different story.
I’m still baffled by the one-sided history lessons that we keep getting even to this day. With Bosnian Muslims always being the victims and Serbs, bosnian or otherwise, being demonized. It’s sad. And even sadder to see misinformation being perpetuated. Like the effectiveness of terror air campaigns. Not wanting to discuss how difficult and bloody the US made the peace and how the new massive US military bases in the region will be there indefinitely.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn perhaps said it best at the time: “I don’t see any difference in the behaviour of NATO and of Hitler. NATO wants to erect its own order in the world and it needs Yugoslavia simply as an example: We’ll punish Yugoslavia and the whole rest of the planet will tremble.”
NATO of course being synonymous with the US
