The war was conducted in an imperialist way and should not be repeated. The argument over alternatives is important.
However the war was not against Yugoslavia but against Serbian bourgeois nationalism in alliance with fascist groups relying on Christian Orthodox racism against muslims, with a plan to impose an apartheid solution, if necessary also in Montenegro and Macedonia.
I hope Elias, writing from a Greek background, will disassociate himself from any anti-muslim racist bias.
There is a significant bourgeois Serb nationalist lobby in Canada organised around the christian orthodox church, and the fact that they have got an article in Canada's leading Conservative paper is no doubt the resultant of many forces.
