I agree with you in a way, I disagree in one point:
" the evidence is that once nation began to break apart, the Serbs restored to violence first..."
This evidence is created by media. That is what I was talking in my post regarding "media truth" - the winner is the one that gets his story published first.
If Serbs have had prepared better for media war, then you would "know" that i.e. Croats started the violence first.
For NATO bombing, since I was there under the bombs, I live 100m from TV station that was bombed, I believe I do have credibility to say that NATO increased number of victims dramatically.
The thing is you haven't seen much of victims killed by NATO (this includes Albanians, I am not talking about Serbs only here) on western media is simply because that was not politically desirable by countries that supported NATO in this campaign. NATO believed that Serbia and Montenegro will surrender after just few days of bombing. That continued into 78 days, and increased victim number.
Bottom line is that peace terms offered by NATO at the end of bombing were the same as terms Serbia and Montenegro requested before the bombing. That was not of course what you heard on news. So I ask you please look for documents about this (what Serbia and Montenegro terms were before bombing, and what were the terms of NATO to stop it) and you will see it yourself.
Truth is Albanian extremist groups killed, or forced to flee from Kosovo and Metohia more than 100.000 people in period between 1948 and 1998 (50 years). You haven't seen or heard stories about that period I guess. But that really happened. 1998 - 1999 were boiling point of clash between KLA and police. Yes, there were civil casualties since combat ground was in villages, surrounding mountains and cities, but there were even more when NATO bombing campaign started.
JNA was active in Croatia in 1991 since that was still soil of Yugoslavia. Please remember that Croatia was recognized as independent in 1992.
While you can see that Ustasa extremists in Croatia were doing ethnic cleansing of Serbs in this confession of one Ustasa extremist:
<link>
This is officially printed by Croatian magazine. Proves that ethnic cleansing was synchronized by Croatian new government lead by Franjo Tudjman and Stjepan Mesic.
Just take a look at today's Croatian flag. It contains centuries-old Croatian chess-board sign, but in shape of U letter. This U shape was created rescently, in WW2, by Ustasa regime of that time (lead by Ante Pavelic). In 1991, new Croatian government suddenly raises the old Ustasa flag and using "U" insignia on Croatian paramilitary units (paramilitary since in 91 they still were not recognized as independent state) and ordered clean-sweep of ethnic Serbs.
This created all nightmares from WW2 (www.jasenovac.org, www.jasenovac-info.com) suddenly become reality.
You may also want to know that KLA commander Agim Ceku (please google him, to find more info) was involved in numerous operations against Serbian population in both Croatia and Bosnia. This man, has file opened in almost all police departments in the world as "mass murderer". This man, today, is chief of staff of Kosovo Protection Corpus.
I also see that people very often connect Bosnia and Croatia with Kosovo. Kosovo is region of Serbia, and even with autonomy from 1974 in it's definition have had clearly said: no right for secession. It was never republic, just it was given more right to organize it's scholar, medical and other institutions themselves (ie. Schools and university of Pristina offered studendts studies in Serbian or Albanian language).
Based on that fact, then Krajina Serbs have had more right to secession than Albanians in Kosovo. But instead to have right to be independent, Croatia cleansed them from their lands.
Here is the fact:
Before 1991: 30-35% population in Croatia were Serbs. Krajina had 85% population Serbs.
Today: less than 5% population in Croatia are Serbs. Krajina has less than 15% population Serbs.
That can just tell you that Croats really did ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Croatia.
