I call Bullshit on you. The one of the product of that excellent education system was Milosevic as well. Serbia with Milosevic started the last Balkan Wars in its desire to renew Dusan's Empire, or in common tongue, to make a greater Serbia. First in Slovenia, later on in Croatia then in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When it started on the south, in between Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, it became too dangerous not to stop it. The US waited for Srebrenica to happen to put a stop on it in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This time the US and the EU correctly recognized the danger of leaving the situation to deteriorate to something that would be danger to the region and the ordinary people. Those in Serbia included.

Rather that's the party line. Because other sides weren't angels either, and a lot of the atrocities/stories pilled on the Serbian side were manufactured BS.

In the end, it was all for creating another protectorate (Kossovo) -- and militant islamism penetration thriving.

There's nothing about those wars that you can teach me, nor the idiot from the link posted.

Not the best phrasing, one could deduct from it that the education system was broken.

Of course bad people will benefit from education as well as good people, but this is not a reason to stop educating people.

By "excellent education system" I mean the combination of Nationalism and Communism, which, I first hand experienced, as National Socialism. Every story I've learned about Nazis, what they spoke and believed in, was present in the speech and in the deeds. I am well aware of why and how that happened, the rise of National Socialism on Balkans, one of them being 50 years of Communism and lack of the benefits of balanced democratic evolution of the society.

Your version is as true as it was true that Iraq had WMD. Or that those against Assad are all "moderate rebels." There are definite similarities.

In reality, Bosniak Muslims were supported by al-Qaeda, bin Laden and his closest men had the passports made by the Bosniak Muslim government, which was also supported by the U.S.

It was all before 9/11, or "Iraq had WMD" affair, so it was very easy to sell.

Another schizophrenic view of the world.

Milosevic and Tudjman were nationalistic idiots who LITEALLY conspired together to start the war.

It was agreed upon. Banque Franco Yugoslave was jointly owned by them- they started the war so that they could raid state assets from it under the guise of war and strife.

Please don't be so one-sided. The Yugoslav education system in the 70s was excellent and produced scholars from all nationalities and religions who are still working today.

Milosevic was a partisan idiot elected after a decade of economic instability (once again orchestrated by the West)
