hello,
to understand the war in bosnia you must understand all wars in ex-yougoslavia
I'm serb, and i was soldier in the serb army during the war in bosnia, the war in croatia and the war in kosovo.
(please accept my appologies for the mistakes, I dont speak american very well )
ex yougoslavia was composed with serbia,croatia,bosnia,slovenia,macedonia, montenegro
slovenia, macedonia, and croatia decided to go away, they didn't want to stay in yougoslavia, they want independance
for slovenia and macedonia there was not really a problem, but in croatia the first problem began :
in the south of croatia, 70% people was serbs and they didnt want to get away from yougoslavia, that was the first conflict between serbs and croats
Now, to understand what happened in Bosnia, you must know that in bosnia there are 3 ethnies, we have serbs,croats and Muslims* (warnning ! here it is not the religion but an ethnie called Muslims )
croats and serbs from bosnia, when they saw what happened in Croatia began to be scared, what will happened in Bosnia, and Muslims were scared too so a war began between the three etnies.
I have saw some body who said
"The war in Bosnia started with the clash of a few religious groups"
it is totally wrong ! this was never a question of religion (some serbs are muslims..)
"Milosevic was a definite fan of genocide"
Milosevic is in TPIY, and now, after two years, they didn't succeed ti prove something against him, in fact one of the genocide was in a city of bosnia called sarajevo, they have said that serbs have killed 8 000 men
recently they found that most of these men are still alive
somebody else have spoken about albanians, that is not in bosnia but in kosovo...

officially, american came to help the ethnie Musulman

i have just tried to give you the fact, if you want my opinion about the war in bosnia, about what american have done in bosnia and about how people living in bosnia perceive americans...
