Maybe he was bombed and blames the US for trying to stop the genocide Serbians were carrying out.

There are few problems here Paul, and whatever that is said, no one would change the opinion (it is still possible but people rarely accept a different view). Some of the important things
1. You believe in an "official" version of events in the same way Tommy believe in Guardian stuff he posted (official on the part of the world where you are from).
2. No one invaded anything, it was the same country in the same way war in Syria is not invading self-proclaimed Islamic state. (or in the same way as US didn't invade "Republic Of Texas " when chasing and killing separatist.)
3. What no one is telling you there is that USA exclusively fired up and helped problems to escalate. Especially in Bosnia, where
Croats, Serbs, and Muslims accepted an agreement before all the mess. Guess what, upon getting advice in the USA, Muslim leader retreaded from peace treaty. They knew they are the weakest side there but they needed war go get their "state" they are enjoying now while breeding extremists and Jihadist in Europe.
4. For example, you are somehow missing that USA was dropping and arming Muslims in Tuzla, while there was a peace treaty on power and attempt of de-escalation, then I don't have a real comment.
5. I know, the next things guys like you will mention is Srebrenica, totally neglecting, ignoring what happened there, how Muslims were slaughtering Christian Serbs and then running away in "safe UN zone" under the protection of their western allies for months or even years.
6. As you noticed in Spain, no one supported and armed separatist and there was no war. Of course, Spain is NATO member and a loyal ally of USA. Yugoslavia wasn't NATO member and the population is strongly divided based on a long historical heritage that is beyond comprehension someone coming from a country only few hundred years old.
7. As mentioned, you sincerely believe in one version like other people sincerely believe in other versions. This is when wars and violence starts. What you should ask your Muslim friends that obviously influenced your opinion is what they think about war and country dissolution now, after all these years and was that a smart move. (ask people that actually lived both countries, not some kids born after the war).
8. I won't mention staged massacres like Markale market because it was a prototype of how to get attention, sympathy, and support on a political and military level.Something we are now seeing constantly in all "modern" conflicts and wars (crap about mass graves, poisoning, mass rape, etc). I won't waste time, listing, explaining because I know that people like you won't accept other view and I know very well how propaganda can shape people and their beliefs (and where that goes).
9. At the end, Cruscificio, or whatever his name is (he is on my block list together with Bladewire) is not a real Serb, he is some mixture of a Muslim probably and this is where from his hate toward USA is coming. Not that I care, just mentioning like other things above.
Conclusion: things are much more complicated than you have perception, even from a point of a seriously educated people in the area of region history. Now, this was a usual waste of time on GFY, it is better than I've spent it on optimizing some new pages and that's exactly what I am going to do right now.
