I am not particularly religious but I have a lot more respect for figures such as Jesus Christ or Siddhartha Gautama than I do for any advocate of violence.

How long does it take someone that has been brainwashed by decades of propaganda from an amoral political structure, that was further fueled by paranoia, to see the truth of that country's past, if ever?

A classic case of someone choosing the slightly lesser of two disgusting evils. It's really pathetic it this point. There's nothing else I can say about his warped perceptions.

Actually, Robert Mugabe was becoming well known and respected  revolutionary in the seventies when he was led his people to freedom from racist tyranny of the White minority. Yes I know that many people were lost thier lifes back then, but the freedom is always expensive, isnt?In the seventies, Yugoslavia was helped his fight with a lot of war material. Btw, Yugoslavia had one of the biggest arms production in Europe in the seventies; even A-bomb we were able to produce easily as we had material for that aswell, but Tito, as an humanist, was against the nuclear weapons in general. Robert Mugabe became prime minister in 1980, exactly the same year when Tito died. So even if President Mugabe really was so much corrupted and "evil" later, as the Western propaganda says, Tito had nothing to do with that, simply because Marshal Tito was already dead when Robert become the prime minister.

Sir, you are a bloody idiot, and your like is damned dangerous. Oh, you're all very sweet and pretty smart ones and yet well educated in the history, especially in the history of the Balkans, if you thought that Marshal Tito and his partisans were supposed to practice satyāgraha when dealt with the guys like these:       Serbian chetniks:       ::snip::   Sorry you nice people for these disturbing pictures, but believe me, I carefully chose for you the less disturbing ones. Oh and when you once find the pictures or any relevant evidence (not from chetniks' & ustashe's "literature" and neo-nazi web pages) of the mass graves with the children, woman and old people but caused by the Yugoslav partisans, please just let me know.

What does that have to do with the fact that Tito was as much of a tyrannical despot as every other communist leader?
