Wait, back-up.  No strikes happened after Srebernica capture, it did happen
after another market place bombing(who's to blame, ask the UN).  It was
blamed on the Serbs though and NATO struck.  Still the Serbs didn't agree to
anything, but the recently well-armed Muslims and Croats made major
advancements on the ground, ethnical cleansed thousands of Serbs from those
regions and then, only then, did the Serb military agree to sign a peace
agreement.

Also remember that Croats were given a green light by the West to move out
300,000 Serbs from Croatia(the second largest  exodus of people from the
Balkans, Kosovo just became the first), and another 300,000 left other
regions, mostly from Bosnia.

Greater Serbia, as many Westerns put it, wasn't the Serbs military
objectives throughout Bosnia and Croatia.

The problem was, in both these regions, Serbs didn't want to be independent
country, but wanted to remain with Yugoslavia(largest chuck is Serbia).
They were told they had two choices, either become independent country or
leave your home.  They, like their stubborn brothers and sisters of the
past, decided they wanted to remain with Yugoslavia and, the simplistic
thinking they had, believe if one can leave a country, one can easily stay.

Those Serbs wanted to remain with Serbia(not make it larger) and when denied
this, did it become a blood bath.

Trust me, I know, I'm a Serb.
