What the current situation has to do with WWII is to illustrate the absurdity in the erroneous statements you have made Yokes. I am simply stating that Croats, as well as much of their Western sympathizers and tourists, have rather rapidly dismembered any connection between themselves and their atrocities committed in WWII. In my humble opinion, 1.2 million people killed in Ustasha death camps is FAR WORSE than any thousands that have been killed during the 90s in the former Yugoslavia. I am in no way condoning the haphazard politics of Milosevic or his Western-puppet successors, but I am merely emphasizing the duality of the situation: on one hand you are unwilling to move on and forget Serbia’s struggle with Albanians, yet on the other Croats are quick to properly hide their past history. My argument is that war is war, and you cannot forget ANY ONE SIDE’S ATROCITIES. Nobody will ever forgive the U.S. for Agent Orange and Napalm in Vietnam. South Korea will surely never pardon Japan’s capture and subsequent use of “pleasure girls” as prositutes for their army. Heck, I doubt I as a Canadian can ever truly feel at ease in my adopted home knowing what the Canadian AND U.S. governments (albeit non-existent at the time)did to the Native Indians. Moreover, the Native Indians keep getting harassed and live in plight. I don’t see you calling the U.S. or Canada butchers (smallpox blankets to Native Indians anyone?) and demanding that they hand over territory. Learn your history, then talk. And for your information yokes, I saw the wars in Yugoslavia. I left after the first one, and was subsequently joined by my cousin who had to flee from Kosovo at the hands of Albanian mobs.
