Oh, one last comment. The Cardinal called for dialogue about the problem, because the the "only alternative is war". And he is right. So long as the Croats feel isolated and discriminated against in BiH, there is a festering sore which could erupt in war. No one likes to be the marginalised minority, especially in that part of the world! And the Federation has put the Croats in just such a position. It is truly in the interests of longterm peace to assist the Croat population in BiH, as well as the Muslim and Serb populations. I truly hope that all will be allowed to return. What's happened with Drvar? I felt so sorry for the Croat refugees from there. What a h*ll they went through!

The Brits ran Drvar and effectively impeded any support from Croatia or BiH Croats so as to ensure Serb supremacy in the town...the town was majority Croat while the Serbs had the villages, but even the town is Serb now.
