Fair enough. Let's confine it to Srebrenica. You have produced a great deal of stuff about ulterior motives by this or that nation and dastardlinesss by this or that non-Serb group, but nothing to convince me that many thousands of non-combatant men were not massacred in Srebrenica by a Bosnian Serb army notorious for its atrocities.* All sides were known to exaggerate for publicity purposes during the conflict, and given the enormous forensic task of tabulating the squishy remains of the victims, nobody could swear it was bang on 8,000 (but I wouldn't be in the least surprised).

As part of your ongoing campaign to whitewash the Serbs, you claim that it was "only" about 2,000 "combatants". This is wishful thinking and blindness to evidence produced by entities whose objectivity you'd better not challenge unless you have something pretty persuasive to cite.

This axe you keep grinding -- I really would be interested to know where you got it.

* I ask again: One group who would have every interest in contesting the idea that the Serbs massacred innocents is the pathetic Dutch UN contingent, since this would let them off the hook of dishonour they are skewered on for the rest of their lives.
Gorgo, can you explain why they aren't feverishly denying the Serb-massacre version of events? No? Well ain't that curious! They were right there, weren't they?
