Well, you must be kinda newbie or complete outsider, however it's pretty 
cool to make *just* judgement from *safe* distanced point, behind the 
screen, but Holly Wars for ever Greater Serbia were happend somewhere to 
somebody far away from you. Furthermore you are *struck* by simplicity 
of Michaels standpoint as you claim,  it's simple Michael is insider and 
he knowing very well about what he talking about.
Tudjman?, if you asking me is cloned by Milosevic, so just another atrocity.

Oh yes, sure, they can do it, just as we saw it in past years and quite 
recently again, unfortunately i can see hardly any legitimate point 
there, maybe Tribunal for War Crimes may find one, or probably more.

Hm, will be quite hard even for Serboprop to hide 10's k+ killed masacred 
raped etc, *downplaying* of Kosovars atrocities is not point, rather how 
did they come to that point??? 

If somebody here trying to be *fair* minded that you are James, but excuse 
me, Im sick of all kind of *fair minded* war and post war profiters.
