Bosnian Muslims are not noted for militancy. That came with Saudi influence, and the delays in the U.S. doing an effective intervention is part of why that influence was there. If you are being murdered and another murderer comes to your aid you don't ask a lot of questions. Bush Sr. should have thought about that. Clinton was almost too little too late.Katja R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17813405984067905779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31227637.post-1155231820211339452006-08-10T12:43:00.000-05:002006-08-10T12:43:00.000-05:00A lot of the people at antiwar.com are really old ...A lot of the people at antiwar.com are really old time Communists, and they can't seem to understand that Milošević was evil, and not even a real Communist. He was a gangster, and turned Serbia into a Kleptocracy. I have a lot of friends locally who probably were supportive of Tito, indeed even some members of my family who supported Tito and were totally out of touch therefore with how BAD Milošević regime was. <BR/>You are correct in stateing that the antiwar.com people never denounced the agression of the Milošević regime. I don't even go as far as to call it Serbian aggression per se, because I do not believe this agression would have existed without the regime that got it going.Katja R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17813405984067905779noreply@blogger.com
