Ott, yes, but still valid. Being a vilified enemy of the West doesn't automatically make you the righteous side. You can remove all the layers of propaganda and still reveal evil deeds by a certain regime, such as Syria in the most recent case. There's no denying that all sides committed crimes in the Bosniak war, but one of them clearly stands out in the numbers game. Which happens to be the most neurotic, imperialist power in the Balkans who viewed themselves as lawful aggressors being "the previous owners of their neighbors". Rapes, massacres and displacements of the weaker Bosnians happened regularly even if the figures are overstated. Actually it would be surprising if there were no such crimes committed in a war so personal for them. Even the tarnation US soldiers indulged themselves in such crimes on the other side of the world towards people they had no personal enmity for, so did you expect that the loud wailings of the Bosnians wouldn't have at least a grain of truth? Now I'm not telling you which side to root for, as a muzzie i'm pretty neutral, but i will condemn Serbs 5 times before i condemn Bosnians once. And again, i urge every dissident individual to be careful and not fall for the contrarianism trap. The truth is often gray shaded.
