To Kill a Nation (which I highly recommend reading, by the way) does seem to be the culprit here. Michael Parenti questioned the circumstantial evidence that the capitalist media put forth for its conspiracy theory that the Federal Rep. of Yugoslavia sought to create an ethnostate, notably the infamous Srebrenica massacre of 1995. Although it was criminal, I doubt that it was genocidal, which seems like a petty distinction until you remember that ‘genocide prevention’ was a necessary criterion for NATO intervention.
