My god, Miljenko. You call me every name in the book and then go about assuming the typical European attitude about American awareness of history. How the hell can you characterize my knowledge of the Balkans when you know SQUAT about my knowledge!? You call ME! a psychopath when the conflict in the Balkans has been going on longer than the US HAS EXISTED! You claim the US government is responsible for Milosevic and his Serbian Government's activity for the last 2 decades when said dictator and said government cite conflicts originating over 500 years ago as the root of their behavior!!! And 'LEAVE BALKAN IN PEACE'? Yeah right! The moment Tito leaves the scene BAM! back to the REAL status quo of everyone blowing each others heads off! Yeah fine Casey and the CIA and M4 were involved on some level with a low level functionary like Milosevic in the mid 80's - who knows?? - but cut me a friggin break about the US being PRIAMRILY responsible for the Balkans!!!!

Just like every other point you've made about me and my behavior - distorted beyond any semblance of reality!

You think EVERYONE in the United States knows NOTHING about history? And what the hell do YOU know about the United States? All these preconceived notions about hedonism and ignorance from Disney, Spielberg, and Jordon. Screw you! As much as you resent having the Balkans characterized as a third grade playground with grenade launchers, there is a non-insignificant segment of the American population who resents the concept that every friggin' European knows America better than American's do!

Your characterization of the American government's responsibility for Balkans is total bullshit and YOU know it. The players in the Balkan have done JUST FINE finding reasons to despise each other - with or without the US' presence - and they have found ways to act on this hatred for hundreds of years. Everyone has blood on their hands.

If you resent the idea that an American can voice an opinion about Balkan history than you best beware that the PRECISE OPPOSITE holds true as well.
