Alright then, I'm too tired to post a fully renditioned arguement here, but I basically don't think that the Balkan issue is as simple as Serbs = bad, the rest = good. But by all means I'm not condoning anything Slobodan Milosevic and his butchers did to the Bosnians and Kosovo-Albanians during the 1990'ies (though I must say I find the whole "America are attacking muslim countries because they hate all muslims"-arguement even more stupid than it already is considering America was the only country to actually react when the Serbs slaughtered 250 000 muslims in the Balkans).
Naturally. It has to do with the 19th century and problems which were inherited and simply amplified in the 1990's. Who's fault it was, the war? Serbias, that's sure. But the only totally innocent country is Slovenia, all the others sooner or later dragged themselves into some kind off ethnic war that caused sever trauma for the whole region.
America did what the EU could not, which is why I never will belive in the EU and their politics.
But yes, it is a very complex debate, sorry for offtopicing.
