Why waste time asking Bobby Brady the question? He even got the answer wrong. The ethnics Hungarians in Yugoslavia haven't been an issue. The Serbs discord have been with the former Yugoslav provinces in which there were sizeable Serb populations, and the threat for a Greater Albania. He never chooses to answer the questions posed. He just makes up new assertions, however wrong.

That question has been answered numerous times by several people on this thread, but if you don't like the answer, you just ignore it and then ask the question again a few days later. Rather than repeat my answers to you, I'll refer you to my posts #'s 2640, 2771, and 2793 on this thread. As far as your repugnance about the content of this thread, I believe that if you are honest with yourself that the worst offenders were espousing the same causes as you, but were using venom and hate instead of truth and logic. Now you choose not to be associated their racism and anti-semitism. I can't blame you for that. I'd like to think that you don't share their blind hatred for the U.S., either.

As far as your repugnance about the content of this thread, I believe that if you are honest with yourself, you'll see that the worst offenders were espousing the same causes as you, if for different motives. I guess now you choose not to be associated their racism and anti-semitism. I can't blame you for that. I'd like to think that you don't share their blind hatred for the U.S., either. I also hope you understand that not a single person on this thread has changed their opinions based on what they've read here. We all showed up with an agenda to promote and could care less what anyone says if they don't agree with us. The bottom line is, what we say here and whatever philosophies we promote, we have the luxury of doing it at no costs to ourselves, within the comfort of our home offices or media rooms, whereas the millions of human beings involved in the conflict of the Balkans, be they NATO, Serb, Kosovar, Croat, or Albanian are basing their lives and the lives of the children on the outcome of their actions. To them, these words we're rattling off, probably don't mean too much. I think it was Montaigne that said, "Reality is that, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away". For them, it doesn't matter what they believe, they're still stuck with the reality of it.Though I'm sure that it's an emotion not shared by a few on this thread, It makes me grateful to be where I am, in the good old U.S.A.. It makes all of our high and mighty rhetoric seem sort of lame and gratuitous in context.
