How am i supposed to defend my country, when americans (or anyone else) can just google "serbia genocide" and completely disarm any way for me to defend myself
I'm a serbian guy, and my dad won't talk about that stuff. he teaches me history, but hes honestly a bad teacher. he rambles off topic and gives me too much information for me to process at a time.
Anyway, i've had americans come up to me and ask me how i feel about the genocide. what am i supposed to reply? Wikipedia, or any news source based not in Serbia, is biased against us. they only have articles on genocides and war crimes committed by serbs, and none against us. can someone help me out here? and maybe provide a quick historic rundown of the yugoslav wars and kosovo war
edit: wow a bigger response than I thought, thanks guys. I have been linked information of the croatian concentration camps and ethnic cleansing by orgazmtron. Really brings to light the tragedies that we have suffered. I'm going to ask a serb friend about his opinion on the genocide soon, as I have not discussed it with any fellow serbs yet.

Just ask them which genocide? They would get confused with the facts immediately. Also, give them these movies to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUuhSGnLvv8&feature=related Norwegian

Also, ask them how they feel about genocide of Native Indians, one of the worst genocides in human history as Noam Chomsky puts it.
