The Srebrenica Massacre - Nova Srpska Politicka Misao

Introduction
ern disinterest in preserving Yugoslavia, the Western powers positively
encouraged the breakup of that country; (2) that they did this without
addressing, and in fact obstructing the solution of the problem of
stranded minorities who did not want to remain in polities ruled by
groups they considered hostile; and (3) that the Western powers, and especially
the United States, regularly opposed peaceful settlements of the
conflicting land claims and positively encouraged the Bosnian Muslims
and Kosovo Albanians to avoid settlements and work for NATO military
intervention on their behalf. 24
A second and closely related myth is that the Serbs initiated ethnic
cleansing in Bosnia and elsewhere and were its almost exclusive implementers.
Arguably, the first major ethnic cleansings in the 1990s occurred
in Zadar and Gospic, Croatia, in May and September 1991,
respectively, with 116 Serb shops and houses destroyed in Zadar by a
Croat mob, and with some 120 Serb civilians killed in Gospic a few
months later. 25 The largest ethnic cleansing of the Yugoslav wars was
carried out by Croatian forces against Serbs, in the Krajina area of Croatia
in August 1995. The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia was tit-for-tat among
the Bosnian Muslims, Croatians, and Bosnian Serbs from 1991 till the
Dayton Agreement in 1995. 26 The four thousand or more Mujahadeen
brought into Bosnia in support of the Bosnian Muslims, with the aid of
the Clinton administration, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, 27 were efficient
killers, whose work, along with that of the other Bosnian Muslim paramilitary
and regular forces, left many hundreds of Serb villages devastated
and several thousand dead. 28 The media’s presentation of the
Bosnian ethnic cleansing as one-sided, and with genocidal intent rather
than a struggle for land control—and sometimes vengeance—has required
massive suppression of evidence.
A third and closely related myth is that the Serbs, with Milosevic in
the lead, fought their wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in the interest
of creating a “Greater Serbia.” This ignores the fact that with the active
assistance of the NATO powers Yugoslavia was in process of
dismantlement in the 1990s, and Serb minorities in Croatia and Bosnia
wanted to stay in the shrinking Yugoslavia rather than remain in independent
republics in which long-time hostile nationalities would have
dominant power. (The Western establishment has carefully avoided discussion
of the genocidal operations of Croatians against Serbs under
