8000 can hardly called a Genocide,
ask the countries wich losted millions,
war never gave a solution only fed the next one
and the next one make even more victims
its a shame for the intire humanity we let this things happen

Rip to the victims of Balkans, Pontus, Armenia, Arabic Countries and generally in all over the world. Some day the murders must recognize their crimes.

Rightfully pointing your finger at my country for failing in Srebrenica is one thing (and perfectly acceptable) but at least stick to the truth when you do so. There's plenty of incriminating things that really happened - no need to come up with nonsense.

    True. And fair play to the Dutch government resigning after the reports came out, altho the UN Dutch Peacekeeping forces werent under their command I believe?

    I can understand that. Altho they are under the UN orders, they do represent your country.

    Exactly. You know, everytime we hear something about that through newspapers or whatever, my dad always goes: "Shame I wasn't in charge... Defend to the last man I say"

    He means it too. He would've.

    You claim that I lie? I'm just saying what I saw on TV......and I doubt that video-tape can lie......

    General Van der Wind argued that Mladic had a hold over the UN Dutch battalion. Professor Mark Almond wrote: "At the same time, the Dutch ministry of defense was busy shredding evidence of its dealings with the Serb general to get its men away, vital video evidence went 'missing' -- thought Serb television showed enough pictures of Dutch officers drinking champagne with Mladic to make one despair at their subsequent promotion in the Nato hierarchy." All this had the hallmarks of a diabolical deal.

    In the era of the video camera, both the Dutch [UN battalion] and the Serbs filmed the final days of the UN's "safe area. "Srebrenica was effectively handed over to the Serbs, who claimed that they wanted to question the town's Muslim male population to search for "war criminals".In a documentary about the massacre, to be shown on the BBC this week, previously unseen video film shot by the Serbs shows the Dutch [UN]troops fraternising with the Serb force. They even toast the health of Serb officers and accept gifts. The Dutch are subsequently shown carousing happily in the Croatian capital Zagreb in celebrations they themselves captured on video. The impression given is that they felt they had performed a painful job adequately. The behaviour of the troops has caused an outcry in the Netherlands, although nowadays the official Dutch explanation is that their orders were ambiguous.




    Try to disproove this.....

    Well,I was a bit older and I remember....and the video was shown all the time,not just 10 years ago......in fact,I saw it yesterday or day before. And I can understand that you did'nt see it.....after all,it is an embarassement for your country.....it's never good to show those videos in Holland. EOD
