Well as far as Terrorism not winning, the kosovan's were all but what we would call terrorists, and the UN were have rewarded them by this recommending their independence, so that says to me that terrorism can win.
My understanding of an example of Kosovo would be that, all the kosovans coming over to the U.K, living together in a part of the U.K say kent. Then when they are 70% of the population of kent, declaring independence from the U.K. Don't think we would like that either.
From what I have seen of the Kosovans and the Bosnians, bringing in foreign fighters from as far as Saudi Arabia and other parts, it looked a very nasty war on all sides, not much mercy given by anyone.
Just wondering that if the their war against muslim extremists had started 13 years later, we would have been helping them and not bombing them. A question I certainly don't have answers to.
don't know if you guys see it differently.

Sorry Gray
my english is far from perfect, but I think you said it right about Kosovars.
So, I am telling you that American and English goverment said lies to you.
You beleived, and we were bombed. Not blaiming anyone.
But just for 1 sec. stop thinking about us as a terrorists and war criminals, from one reason,cause we are not.
Our state is 1000 years old. We have a culture, and history. We fought WWI and WWII on Alies side.
Kosovar muslims bought your public oppinion, and they made you think as they like. Thats the way it is!
You have a lot of good pictures (Greek paras also, jumping in Serbia) on our site http://www.63padobranska.co.yu/galerija7.htm

This is a rescuing operation in Capljina, Bosnia 1992
ČAPLJINA OPERATION, 1992
Despite wrong decisions, acts and omissions, as well as incompetence of some Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) unit commanders during the 1991 and 1992 conflicts, there still were examples and acts in which enviable battle skills, competent commanding, courage and daring of participating JNA troops were demonstrated.These missions were carried out mainly by special squads, paratroops, scouting and diversionary groups and military and police units, who demonstrated high standards of skill. One such mission was the rescue operation of troops from the besieged barracks at Čapljina. The operation of 23 April 1992 was carried out by a combat task force composed of JNA Air Force pilots and members of the 63rd Parachute Brigade, who had previously been given a combat assignment in Mostar. Nine Mi-8 helicopters took part, but only eight landed in the barracks precinct, while the ninth was kept in reserve, hovering in the close proximity.
On that 23rd April 1992, six choppers took off from the Mostar Jesenice Helicopter Airfield, and three from the Ortiješ Pad. The crew of each craft included two pilots and a mechanic, all volunteering for the mission. In addition, there were 25 parachutists in the choppers, whose task was to secure, protect and assist the boarding and pullout of the troops under siege. They were all conscious of the dangers, high risk and possible serious losses in the action, aware, however, that the troops surrounded at the Čapljina Barracks, who had been under incessant pressure and fire from Croat and Muslim forces, must be rescued as swiftly as possible. The action, therefore, had a purely defensive and humanitarian character. Intensive artillery preparation of the assault commenced at 16:45 hours and lasted until 17:00 hours. The Mi-8's took off concurrently with the commencement and duration of the artillery "pounding", as the flight from Mostar to Čapljina was supposed to take an estimated 15 to 16 minutes. The choppers were escorted and protected by Air Force and Air Defence aircraft. According to the plan, the evacuation of the troops from the moment of landing of the choppers, to the assembling and boarding of the men, to takeoff of the last craft, was to take 12 minutes, as it was deemed that the enemy would need that long to overcome the initial surprise and organize a counterattack. It was also supposed to allow the troops in the barracks enough time to assemble and carry their materiel to the choppers.The action only took 7.5 minutes.After landing within the perimeter of the barracks, eight choppers and 16 parachutists assembled and pulled out 170 troops and civilians, who had for over two weeks been under fire from the assailants. This mission was also record setting in the number of people carried by an Mi-8, as one of them accommodated 43 troops, whereby all estimates until then as to the transportation capacity of this type of aircraft were denied. Even all their equipment - backpacks, bags, weapons… had to be discarded from some of the choppers for the purpose…
The choppers returned to Mostar without loss, although all had been "pierced", and it was no small wonder that there had been no casualties, or that none of the aircraft had been downed or compelled to make a forced landing by reason of damage. True, one chopper returned with only one motor, but still it reached its destination and delivered the troops unharmed. For security reasons and prevention of a "leak", the Čapljina Barracks command had only been informed of the evacuation ten minutes prior to landing, namely when the choppers had already been in the air, and on their way to Čapljina. In devising the action plan losses of the intervention group had been anticipated. Fortunately, this did not take place thanks primarily to the swift execution and good organization of the action, which took the enemy by surprise by its boldness. Thus it was verified that good intelligence preparation and preservation of secrecy were essential to the success of the operation.Great courage, self-sacrifice and daring of the parachutists and helicopter crews alike, who put their lives at stake in order to rescue their comrades from the barracks under siege, from an almost hopeless situation, are to be highly commended.

Try to understand Grey,GreyWing wrote:Some of the guys on your side did you no favours with some of the things they did, Gacik
Some in the U.K might not have disagreed with your cause, just the way some of you went about it.
63rd Paratroop Brigade is a honored unit, without any criminal activities and we are proud to serve under 63rd's flag.
It is easiest to say that all Serbs all wrong, but it is not true.
We, Serbian Paras, are proud that we finished our battles without any black spots.
We did not fought in Vukovar, Sarajevo or Srebrenica. Our task was to defend airports, so we did until 1998.
Since 1998-1999 we chased terrorists from mountains and deep forests near Albanian border. Against NATO, we also fortified at Albanian border and waited for your infantry. Where is any crime or dishonor in that?
It s a pity, cause there are no more people here to discuss with cold head about that events.
Regards, my Para fellows!
