| Netherlands sued over Srebrenica | |
| 2007-06-05 | |
| Relatives of the victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre have filed a case against the Dutch state and the UN, saying they allowed it to happen. The Bosnian town of Srebrenica was a UN safe haven under the protection of Dutch peacekeepers at the time. About 8,000 Muslims were killed after Bosnian-Serb forces overran the town. The case was filed before The Hague district court. Dutch officials say compensation claims should be directed at the perpetrators of the massacre. Two-hundred women from the group known as the Mothers of Srebrenica carried banners in a silent march outside the Dutch parliament. Their lawyers said the Dutch were to blame for refusing to give air support to their own troops defending Srebrenica, claiming that would have prevented Bosnian-Serb forces from advancing. The Dutch cabinet resigned in 2002 after a report blamed politicians for sending the Dutch UN troops on an impossible mission. The Bosnian-Serb troops were under the command of General Ratko Mladic and the former leader Radovan Karadzic, the war crimes tribunal's most wanted fugitives.

| #9 I've never been a believer in anything connected in the Kristian Amanpour War. [mrs. Mustache and her Husband, Mr. Rubin-Amanpour] neither the so called facts nor the analyzers of the same. Shit now lets see who were our loose change Bill Clintoon, Fatty Maddy Halfbright, Dicky dick-up Holbrooke, Warren guess-whats-in-my-mouth Christopher, Richard 'nothing actionable' Clarke and Sad Sandy Ass Burgler. nope, I demand a redo, one where the Muslimes and their deeds are measured objectively. |

| #7 This is a war that has been going on for centuries with only brief hudnas. We didn't have a dog in it and should have stayed out. Even Bismark knew better than to get involved in the Balkans. |

| #6 Clinton stepped in and sided with the Muslims. And this was a good thing? Not even a close chance Scooter. I remember several instances when the Muzzies were shelling their own people seeking MSM public victimhood. Now the only real victims are the Christian churches in the region. Put another way. Muhammad's leason of mass murder dates back to the cold blooded killings of the Quraiza. The Dutch or Clinton, shit give me Legos over that Dhimmi idiot any day. |

| #3 That war wasn't started by Muslims. It was started by Serb ultra-nationalists. Look again. |

| #2 A lot of Serbs, from Milosevic on down, were spoiling for a fight with the Muslims, Croats, Slovenians, and even the Montenegrans in order to build a 'Greater Serbia' and, coincidentially, keep themselves in power after Tito died. Milosevic was one of the first to use ultra-nationalism, though not the only one. That in turn caused the Croats, etc to see themselves more as Croats, etc, instead of Yugos. Not that being a 'Yugoslav' was all that great, but as it turned out, it beat the alternatives of mass graves and ethnic cleansing. That war wasn't started by Muslims. It was started by Serb ultra-nationalists. If ever Muslims were true victims in the world, it was in Bosnia. Check out the mass graves sometime if you need further convincing. |

| #1 Had the Euros stood tall in Bosnia in '93 and '94 Had the Euros had sense not to side with Muzzies against humans (after all, it isn't like Serbs were "Zionists"). |
