Yes, yet mostly Serbs are getting tried/sentenced, while "the others" are getting acquitted/freed (through an array of courts of questionable-legality ).

They have not. Most of the aggression(s) were initiated by the non-Serb side(s). Just btw., at the time of the war(s), it was not only the nation of Serbs at one side (for example, it was the "Serbia and Montenegro" Republic - at one time); & also in the beginning, the aggression(s) were against the "Yugoslav People's Army" (until the split, obviously).

^^ Again, for example, Slovenia attacked a Yugoslavian tank-convoy (at a bridge, if I'm not mistaking), which had been unarmed (without ammunition, serving only as "support").

The whole, entire reason, why I'm even bothering to write about this, is ignorance.

Most, if not all (modern) wars are crafted solely for the purpose of financial gain of certain states (nations, that is) and people always try to justify (them, the wars) with some other reasons (please excuse the reference, but think: oil in Kuwait). It isn't fair, to humanity in general, to jump to these wrongful assumptions.

That's all I'm sayin' & the rest is, really, just a tragedy; no matter what side we're on. Death and destruction is not something that I look upon gladly and hopefully, one of these days, we can start harvesting energy from Mars, or somewhere else and actually stop all this (these?) mindless killings. Thanks for your time, best wishes and regards to all; and RIP to all of the victims and their families.
