Controversies surrounding Srebrenica massacre(s) of the nineties

[Marcus Marulus]

The article is complete and utter bullshit.

[Monolith]

Left-wing apologists of the Serbian aggression

[Crvena zvezda]

^ What a neutral source, Monolith. Marko Attila Hoare, a man who goes on long tirades about every single incident involving Serbs but ignores others.

Also a man who seems to refuse to acknowledge the fact that he is of Croatian origin when ever he writes about Serbia.

Marko Attila Hoare is a kind of neocon who believes in the universal mission of the "Western world" to impose its "values" everywhere (thus his support for Iraq and Afghanistan wars), Balkans - and the whole of Europe - included. Far from being too pro-Croatian, he is simply "pro-democratic", supporting the current Croatian "pro-European" government against any nationalist force which could threaten it. In the past he denounced Croatian nationalists who opposed the cooperation with the Hague tribunal. He has similar attitude towards Serbia, where he supports the "pro-European" government of Boris Tadić against any challenges from the nationalist (radicals etc) camp. And - of course - he supports the "independence" of Kosovo. His neoconnish attitudes include also a strong anti-Russian sentiment, especially visible in his recent absolute support for Georgia in the Ossetian conflict.

Whilst I do not agree with his overall worldview, I agree with some of the things he said in the article posted by Monolith, where he lashes out at certain left-wing school of thought which laments too much over the demise of Yugoslavia, the once "socialist paradise" (so they think), which they think was destroyed by independentists of Croatia and Slovenia. Hence their apology of Milošević's Serbia of the nineties which they see as a force bent on preserving Yugoslavia.

He is of Latvian origin.

^ My criticism of him stems from some of the crap I've seen him write. I have read articles when he cirticizes basically similar incidences in S?erbia and Croatia and in those his criticism o Croatia was tame compared to Serbia. The fact is that no matter how much he criticizes Croatia, it is apparent from his writings that he has some pro-Croat feelings. This is apparent in some of his writings.

Anyways, that's my views on him. Although it might also be the fact that he seems to view anyone who disagrees with him on ex-Yugoslavia's past and future as a "fascist", and Serbs tend to be more likely to disagree with him then Croats would.

Furthermore. I've read that he is the son of a Croat mother, Branka Magas. His father is Quintin Hoare.

Agreed. I personally do not subscribe to every line of the article I've posted, but there is a number of valid and strong arguments throughout it, especially regarding the period of Yugoslavia's collapse and the main reasons for it.

Feel free to discuss it in the thread I've posted.

WW2 again? No one can live in the past. It is unnatural.

Germany is also involved in events on Serbian Kosovo in order to create Greater Albania.

Where's the evidence? I'm not talking about insinuations.

They are all same, foreigners, ... intruders in Slavic world who had come to consume the Garden.

What are you talking about?
