After Karadzic - 2

Whatever happened to the people behind Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic? He is now in The Hague on genocide charges, but what about the others, those who created an atmosphere of fear across Bosnia, killed or chased from their homes tens of thousands of non-Serbs?

Alan Little, who reported for the BBC throughout the war, has been back to find out. He found most of those in power in the Serb part of Bosnia ("Republika Srpska") remarkably oblivious to the events of 1992.

Most of them would say they simply "defended their homes" and would blame paramilitaries from Belgrade for bringing violence to Bosnia. They are challenged by witnesses who make sure that what happened in the streets of Bijeljina, and across Eastern Bosnia, in the spring of 1992 is not forgotten.

For Bosnia-Herzegovina to move forward Republika Srpska has to go. The country has to be decentralized and full rights given to its citizens to be able to live where they want within their own country without fear. Otherwise all this effort to rebuild the country will be wasted and it will descend into war at some point in the future. I don't know how you can keep 70% of the population (non-Serbs) only on 51% of the land. Sooner or later something will give, if there isn't a political solution.

OH REALLY?

what about operation "storm" in krajina? organized and executed by "retired" generals of the US, operation "storm" was the largest single "ethnic cleansing" operation carried out during the entire war, estimated to have displaced over 150,000 serbs from kranija. sounds like a fairly systematic cleansing to me. not too systematic, i mean they aren't serbs or anything, god forbid.

Aco hajde izjasni kako je propaganda??? Hajde citiraj sta je laz?

[Wampiritza]

Kad ce vec jednom da prestane to izjednacavanje kretena kao sto je Karadzic ili Mladic sa svim Srbima? Oni svoj narod drze u izolaciji, svojoj deci ne daju da se skoluju i putuju, a sta onda da tudja ocekuju, sto ih vec nije snaslo? Pravedno bi bilo odreci ih se jednom za svagda i suditi i njima i pomocnicima.

In the Serbian war of aggression, there is and was a victim and a war criminal. It definitely was not the Serbs.

Your argument is like saying, why does no one talk about the Nazi victims and only the Holocaust? Because the Jews were systematically persecuted and slaughtered, much like the Bosniaks of Bosnia. Sure Germans died too during World War II, but they were the aggressors. No one talks about the "ethnic cleansing" of Serbs because Serbs were not systematically cleansed in Bosnia.
