Ah, the play of the Croat card in an effort to save the fading away Serb rouge entity. Will it take a trick?

He pointed out that for the past 15 years Croats couldn’t get the permission to build a new Catholic Church in the capital Sarajevo, while all mosques damaged in the war were reconstructed and scores of new ones were built.

I’m curious what is "mighty" Paddy opinion on that?

clinton Legacy Bump!

Once again those close to clinton get screwed!

Through their own stupidity the Bosian Croats trusted clinton and Tudjman, threw in with the Muslims and are left holding the bag!

"He pointed out that for the past 15 years Croats couldn’t get the permission to build a new Catholic Church in the capital Sarajevo, while all mosques damaged in the war were reconstructed and scores of new ones were built. All local institutions, including television, were dominated by Muslims "

What a surprise. Muslims behaving like Muslims. They are lucky they aren't killing them yet.

"The high representative of the international community, which safeguards peace in Bosnia, British diplomat Paddy Ashdown, has been gradually reducing powers of Republika Srpska and of the Muslim-Croat federation, and strengthening the central government structure."

Genius if your objective is to create conditions of permanent oppression and civil war in Bosnia. Some people simply CANNOT live peacefully with each other. Serbs Croats and Muslims for instance. They need to be separated permanently instead of being forced together. Paddy Ashdown is either a moron or a cunningly evil SOB.

Better to attach the Croat and Serb areas of Bosnia to Croatia and Serbia respectively. The borders of Bosnia reflect provincial boundaries of the Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires, not demographic reality. The history of Christian minorities in Muslim nations is rather grim. Islam does not work or play well with others.

The Croats told the Serbs, "We've upped our demands."
The Serbs told the Croats, "Up yours."
