- >To all supporters of peace and justice in former Yugoslavia:
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^`
-
- There can be no peace until Justice is restored and Justice
- demands that the Serbs be pushed out of the Bosnian territories
- that they have usurped! Seems like this is an effort by the
- Serbian-American Media Center and their political satellites.
- It is funny to hear about peace and non-violence now that the
- Serbians have managed to get away with engineering a successful
- genocide in Bosnai!

-
- >"I oppose military intervention or lifting the arms embargo in the civil war
- ^^^^^^^^^
- The United Nations and the United States also recognize Bosnia-Hercegovina
- as an independant state. This is a deliberate attempt by Serbians to
- downplay their involement in the war! The fact is that Serbia is the
- aggressor and she has broken all past records of inhumanity and cruelty in
- quest for expansion.
-
- >in former Yugoslavia. Such action will fuel the fighting, prolong civilian
- >suffering, and lead to an even wider conflict in the region. Exercise
-
- I don't understand. This is a joke, right? So a murderer comes into your
- house, rapes your daughters and your sisters and kills your sons and then
- these two-faced policemen of peace come around and try to restrain you
- from fighting with the murderer!
-
- This is so openly hypocritical that I want to wretch. These people come
- around masquerading as peace-makers when indeed they are responsible for the
- misery of innocent Bosnians.
-
- >evenhanded diplomacy and pressure the three warring sides in Bosnia and
- ^^^^^^^^^^
-
- As if the policy to date has been even-handed. Every-one knows of the
- Serbian Death Camps where thousands of Muslims have perished, and the
- world has not seen a trial of those responsible, in spite of the Nuremburg
- declaration against Genocide. The world knows about Serbian bomardment of
- civilian targets inside Bosnia and not a single "No Fly Zone " has been
- implimented by the U.N. The world knows that the Bosnians are dying
- without food and clothing and isn't it ironic that 23% of all aid
- going into Bosnia is given to the Serbs for appeasement!
-
- Earlier in this Century, the world appeased to another aggressor, and it
- looked the other way during another genocide and the result was that every
- single country in the world was effected by Germany's bid to expand and
- "cleanse" itself.
-
- History shows that a Peace without Justice leads to more misery. If Serbia
- is allowed to get away with one genocide, let the world be prepared with
- a hundred genocides!

- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^`
-
- No-one wants America to intervene militarily, although it is her moral duty
- to do so after the great propoganda campaign for "Human Right and Democracy"
- during the Gulf war. However, the injust ban on military weapons on Bosnia
- must be up-lifted immediately! The Bosnains have every right to defend
- themselves against the Serbian aggressors. I think that it is hardly "even-
- handed" to allow Serbians to riddle Bosnia with rockets and artillery when
- Bosnians don't even have hunting rifles to defend themselves with. The
- Bosnian defense forces have 2 tanks---the Serbs have more than 350! The
- Bosnians have no aircraft---the Serbs have a whole airforce!
-

-
- Any decent human-being who is as disgusted by the genocide in Bosnia should
- call the white-house and tell Bill Clinton to lift the Arms Embargo in Bosnia.
- Every American should call and remind him of America's commitment to "never-more"
- appease to genocide.
