You are joking I take it?? Perhaps Ratovan would be kind enough to turn himself in and stand trial for his warcrimes so we can hear more of his pearls of wisdom. :rolleyes:

First of all, it is important to acknowledge that the situation in Yugoslavia was complex and there were multiple factors that contributed to the conflict. It is unfair to put the blame solely on one party, whether it be the Serbs or the Americans. However, it is also important to recognize that the actions of political leaders, such as Radovan Karadzic, can have a significant impact on the course of events.

If America had not intervened in Yugoslavia, it is possible that Karadzic would have continued to carry out his violent actions against innocent civilians. However, it is also possible that without the external pressure and intervention from the international community, Karadzic may have been forced to reconsider his actions and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

It is concerning that Karadzic and others like him used the excuse of fighting against "Muslim terrorists" to justify their actions. This type of rhetoric only serves to fuel hatred and division, and it is important for leaders to take responsibility for their actions and not shift the blame onto others.

Ultimately, it is impossible to know what would have happened if America had not intervened in Yugoslavia. However, it is important to remember that the bombings of innocent civilians were a result of the actions of multiple parties and it is not productive to solely blame one side. What is important is to learn from the past and work towards preventing such conflicts and atrocities from happening in the future.
