re: #297 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut

Well, it’s nice to see you backtracking, but you’re veering wildly off course. Tudjman was a communist partisan in WWII. He definitely had civil rights abuses, but he wasn’t in any way a neo-Nazi. Can you explain why you’re calling him a neo-Nazi? I mean, with some coherent explanation, not a dramatic appeal?

Tudjman, rehabilitated the the Croatian nationalist Nazi past - You can find plenty of Google links where they talk about this. Even if Tudjman was not a Nazi per say - after what the Croatian Nazi collaborationist stated did to the Serbs why do you find it weird the Serbs would think and react as if these Croatians would be different from the past Croatians?

PS: In the emailed response you were stating Izebegovic was not in the SS but since have edited that out in your response at #297.

During World War II, when Bosnia became part of the puppet-Nazi state of the Croatian Ustashe, Mr. Izetbegovic joined the Young Muslims, a group torn between siding with the German-sponsored Handzar divisions organized by the German SS or with the Yugoslav Communist partisans led by Josip Broz Tito. Mr. Izetbegovic supported the Handzars.

In 1970, Izetbegovic published a book entitled the Islamic Declaration, which led to his imprisonment under Tito on the charge of conspiring to create an Islamic state. This-combined with his wartime record (he was an active member of the S.S.’s Handzar Division, a unit composed of Bosnian jihadists whose primary targets were Bosnia’s Jews and Serbs) and his actions before and during the Bosnian civil war (in particular his active acquiescence in the incorporation of mujahedeen units into the army of which he was commander-in-chief, units suspected of perpetrating some of the worst atrocities of an atrocious war)…

PS: Regarding the charge that Serbs were the only bad guys:

There is plenty of moral and criminal guilt to go around for the unnecessary civil war in both Croatia and Bosnia. Here we enter especially murky ground. What remains clear is that war criminals should not go unpunished. In all likelihood, the Bosnian Serbs committed more atrocities than their Bosnian Muslim or Croat enemies, because they kept winning battle after battle. However, this takes nothing away from Izetbegovic’s guilt-nor from that of Franjo Tudjman, Croatia’s first president who also died peacefully without being indicted for his role in, among many other acts, the ethnic cleansing of 350,000 Serbs from Croatia in a single weekend in the summer of 1995. But with both Tudjman and now Izetbegovic gone and with the failure of the ICTY to indict them while they were alive, despite the evidence, it becomes that much easier to whitewash those terrible events in the Balkans and to maintain the absurd position that all sides in the Balkans have legitimate interests save the Serbs. Some of the guiltiest have taken their deeds to their graves. One can only hope that their deaths will result in a permanent repudiation of their policies.

Last but not least, The Red Army raped every women in the parts of Nazi Germany they occupied it seems. That does not mean I support the Nazis just because that happened over the Russians. Maybe the Bosniacs should not have elected an SS supporting Islamist as their president if they did not want the war to come to them by the former victims of SS Croatian Nationalists and Islamists.
