Earlier this year, here in Serbia, the government put up billboards, more than one, that said “We are not a genocidal people!” It was in reaction to a UN resolution that had passed honoring the victims of the Srebrenica massacre. To make matters worse, they handed out t-shirts with the same message, for attendees at a large patriotic festival held around the same time. It gave me much of the same feelings described here.
