C'mon, Laura, how is that conparable, or even relevant? Nobody firebombed anybody in the Balkans. And decrying the firebombing of Dresden, whether you're you, me, or Kurt Vonnegut, is still not a 100% uncontroversial stance.
 
But denying, say, that Jews were gassed, would make you a Nazi apologist, and such people exist. As do deniers of Serb genocide.
 
It is so frustrating to find all this equivocating on the p-list, of all places. The Serbs were the aggressors, they committed 99% of the atrocities, they laid siege to Sarajevo for 4 years, snipers in the hills refining their techinique for shooting out children's knees, they rocket bombed marketplaces where people were queuing for bread, etc. That people on this list can sit around hmm-ing and ha-ing about it is shocking and disgraceful.
