it's okay that you appear to have a personal involvement with this issue.
being against war is a GOOD thing.

letting somebody drive your aunt from her home and then shoot her in the back as she
leaves, deserves a different response.

face one simple fact: the serbs have been agressors in that area for some time,
chasing away those they could and killing those they could get away with.

were you so fired up about war in the area when the serbs were fighting without
massive opposition?

take a neutral view and then tell me that the serbs are innocent in this, and
undeserving of the actions being taken to end the suffering in the region.
