George, George, George. As I explained before, you could hardly have chosen a more biased anti-Muslim source, short of Slobodan Milosevic or Radovan Karadzic, than former General Satish Nambiar. To paraphrase you, "I cannot think of a more biased or less credible source of information regarding the issues from former Yugoslavia than Satish Nambiar". You also said "Concise, right to the point". So was Hitler's initial draft for his "final solution". George, I have had the misfortune to serve in two U.N. "peacekeeping" clusterfucks, in Beruit and Mogadishu, and I can say unequivocally that one of the grossest miscarriages of justice in the U.N.'s long history of incompetence and favoritism in the administration of U.N. "peacekeeping" mandates was the assigning of Nambiar as head of their mission in Bosnia. Nambiar's hatred of Muslims is legend, a result of his homeland's own ethnic/religious wars between his Hindus and the hated Muslims. His term of office in Bosnia is characterized by a blind eye by NATO to Serb atrocities and a failure to protect those whose lives were under his protection. Also George, I read your other post, citing the Jewish perspective and all I can say to you is that you will never be able to see past your own prejudices if you insist on seeing everything from the perspective of one religion against another. It blinds you to the fact that these are people dying, not religions, even though it is each other's religions that they are seeking to kill. "No other kingdom is so given to bloodshed and warfare as the kingdom(s) of God". -Thomas Jefferson.

Hi George The point I was trying to make was that if now is the time for the US to start, with NATO, as being cop so be it. If there was a return to the mass genocied in Africa that was experienced a few years ago and the world did not step in I would be totally depressed. I, (maybe naively) am hoping that the western world has finally decided to step up and say no to this barbarism wherever it occurs. No matter how you cut it, Milosevic, is dead wrong in what he has comitted in Yugoslavia.A true leader of a country must find a way for it to work,eliminating all opposition is the cowards way out.I understand that atrocities have been comitted by the Muslim side over the years as well but his, (Milosevic's) was not the solution.If every country in the world decided to kick out or kill all non founding or majority population within its borders because of difference of the way people want to live their lives, the whole world would be awash in blood.(NOT TRYING TO MAKE SIMPLE THIS MOST COMPLICATED AND LONG STANDING PROBLEM) We must try and evolve in such a way that we can tolerate and eventually learn to appreciate our differences.I say again, the US and its NATO allies are doing the right thing.How it is being done is another matter for debate.But something had to be done.IMHO Dave T.
