This latest ranting from doctorb really is one of his sickest pieces. What
he's really saying is that the death camp at Omarska was only that because
the Bosnian Serbs didn't have enough food for the prisoners? The BSA has
never been short of food or arms, thanks to its sponsor Milosevic. (Even
when Milo was reported to be embargoing the BSA there were consistent and
reliable reports in the press that supplies were still going to the BSA,
that Yugoslav officers were still involved in BSA military action, and even
that Serb men of fighting age were being press-ganged to fight in the BSA.)
Presumably on this logic the BSA only shot thousands of men shot in the
Srebrenica football stadium because they were unable to feed them, and thus
wanted to save them starving to death? My gorge rises. No wonder doctorb
remains anonymous.

I would like to look forward to the day when both those who committed mass
murder,_and_ those who apologise for it, are brought to justice. Sadly, I
don't think it'll come, and evil men will live to a ripe old age while their
victims rot and are forgotten.
