Southern, to be honest neither of us know the true numbers..... however I would put them at over 30000 thousand... However numbers are not the only factor. the other factor is how these people were killed.
muslims who were unharmed and shot in the back of the head.. No state has the right to execute without a trial... one thing to put them in jail another to kill them.. you cannot kill anybody that is unharmed.. those are rules of engagement...any country that breaks this rule is guilty of war crimes. so please don't tell me Serbs are innocent...
brate, you are wrong. You think in wrong direction even when defend Serbian position in some cases.
It’s because you don’t have information’s and to illustrate tragic situation of Polish journalism/informative media and catastrophic reasoning (based on BBC, CNN, ITN, etc) of
some members of Polish intelligentsia, i would tell you one amazing fact. That fact is truth that- your understandings of current situation depend on people like Southern or me. People like you (who deserve my great respect) depend on free minded Serbs, well informed, who are ``internet junkies`` and pledge to invest part of their free time to share facts with their Polish brothers and sisters and (!) not only for the good of Serbia/Serbian people but with same passion for the good of Poland and Slavs in general. So, if you are lucky, after reading what i wrote in some of my quotation, you would investigate on your own and then you would learn.
and...
before you possible answer on this reply, one more thing
I’m not selfish man and i wouldn’t ``eat`` historic credibility of Racowie (Serbs) which they have among Poles if i`m not sure that Serbian position is 100% right. How could i dare to do something like that?!? So, i don’t doing that.
If their is any chance that i`m wrong or that i am aware of some Serbian failure, which deserve to be object of punishment which was given to Serbs from USA and EU... i would simple come among Poles and tell them: ``Poles, you remembered Serbs as Racowie in your history and you know that Serbs were above divisions of Slavs on Catholics and Orthodox, you know that Serbs were always devoted to Slavdom, that Serbs sacrificed a lot of for Slavdom... BUT, i must tell you my brothers and sisters, we- Serbs now mistaken and i as young Serb ask (beg) you to forgive us for our failure.``
That would i tell IF i have something to admit, as a Serb.
But, I don’t have to admit anything!!! My conciseness is clear, so help me Our Lord Jesus Christ
We Serbs didn’t attack anybody. We Serbs defended ourselves and our civilians from the cruel and combined attacks of numerous foes. Nor ordinary Serbs, nor Serbian intelligentsia, nor Serbian state had demonic plans for crimes on others- non Serbs. We didn’t fail as Slavs, as Christians or as Europeans, as humans after all. Its not Serbs who committed genocide but, Serbs were victims of continual genocide and ethnical cleansing committed on us by our foes (1941-1945; 1991-1995; 1999-2008).
Its not Serbs who failed, its not our sin. God and time would judge to those who blamed us (in merciless propaganda war) and spilled our innocent blood (in open war against us). God would arrange that our children walk with dignity one day and that THEIR children feel shame because of that what was done to Serbs.
So, when i say
Racowie to Poles here, its not manipulation with feelings of Poles (as some people here accused me). No, far from that. It’s a scream of wounded.
In the same time, I can inform you that it is truth that some Serbs did some crimes during Civil War in former Yugoslavia and during Kosovo conflict in 1997-1999. Those were crimes of some criminals who had their own personal names. Those are their personal crimes, not crimes of Serbian state or Serbian society (nor of Serbia, nor of Bosnian, or Krajina Serbs). Those are crimes of Serbs to choosed wrong way to defend rightfull Serbian positions. Sometimes, those were crimes of Serbs who would fail anyway, with war situation or without conflict situation (speaking about criminals). In the moment when those crimes occurred, those crimes were condemned by Serbian people, by Serbian intelligentsia, by institutions of Serbian state. Condemned and punished.
Considering chalanges and agony which Serbs went thru I can say that i am satisfied with attitude and behavior of Serbs (in general, as individuals, as a nation and as a society) in last 18 years and I can say to you- Poles… no, Serbs didn’t failed.
