Oh, an apology. Such a wonderful word: "- OMG, I've apologized, I'm so f***king awesome! Are we good now? - Eeerr... - ARE we good NOW? - Sure... pal" :D Apology is awlays good when it doesn't have consequences, or by the words of well-know bureaucrat grade 36 - it's cheap. I'm pretty sure whatever apology proclamation you're referring to has a disclaimer written in tiny scrip at the very bottom of the page: "Not by any means it may be used as any official document in legislation act or legal process".
Whatever happened in Yugoslavia is very politicized issue, far more politicized than Indian genocide ever was or ever will be, because I'd severely doubt anyone would have balls to seriouslly politicize it in America. If next day the entire US nuclear arsenal along with it's political and financial influence would have disappeared, I'm pretty sure there'd be a lot of politcians, public figures, NGOs or any other, let's say, ideologically-competitive people and organizations (like RT, but worse), whom and which modern American legislation hold by the balls, who would try to use this . And you'd extremely lucky if astronomical compensations (given the size and how much time have passed) one Americans will pay to another would have been the only issue. How about political compensation for whatever poor redskins have suffered? Like autonomous Indian regions in the heart of US? Or even independece of certain states? Or "Here's your $24, now go the f**k out of our land, white people, America decolonize!" :D
I have a feeling that Serbs would have adimtted anything if it'll return them to the status quo ante bellum somehow, but they won't (not because that's not true, or not a whole truth), but because for THEM it would have and already did have consequences.
BTW why haven't you comment on the rest of my list? I'm pretty sure last time you was all in deanial about atomic bombings of Japan. As you said it was moral act to do because it "saved a lot of lifes, bla-bla-blah" (a common place in American historiography), while my point was differenet and valid: If the US would have lost the WW2 and did managed to bomb Japan at the same time, people resonsible for the act would have been rightfully prosecuted as war criminals by international court - that's VERY feasible thing that might have happened, the prosecution part, not that part where US is loosing WW2 :D Even without atomic bombings Japan wasn't a formidable foe, propaganda that has followed did make them look like that though.
So my point is not that America is bad, or by the words of one the guy from Afghanistan: "Yes, Shuravi were biggest shaitan at the time, but America is bigger shaitan right now", - but the fact that ethinc cleansings aren't the issue here.
