Crunch time for Serbia in hunt for Mladic
· Genocide suspect still at large, says UN prosecutor · Belgrade faces crucial choices as pressure grows
Ian Traynor in Zagreb Thursday February 23, 2006 The Guardian
The UN prosecutor in charge of bringing Ratko Mladic to justice yesterday stated categorically that he remained at large in Serbia and demanded that the EU step up the pressure on the Serbian government to secure his arrest and trial. Carla Del Ponte, chief prosecutor at the war crimes tribunal in the Hague, dismissed the reports about Mladic's arrest as utterly unfounded. After criticising Austria, the current chair of the EU, for resisting pressure to have Mladic captured, Ms Del Ponte said: "I need now a stronger support of the EU to have Mladic in The Hague very soon. Clear deadlines with clear sanctions will produce early results."

Srebrenica, Gorazde and Zepa Ham radio operators provided that gave insight to the traumatic carnage being wrought onto the people of the region. How much more truthful can you get?

Well, GAB, if it were just a case of nationalism , then why would two countries on the other side of the world be the main arms suppliers to the main protagonists?
Not only that, but IRAN and ISRAEL.
Think about it.

Why? Because a war starts with nationalism and it can expand when others interfere in the matter. But that does not justify the cause of the Serbs, Croats, or Bosnians. All were guilty, though the guilt does not lie equally on all of them. The Czechs and Slovaks divided their lands equally. Serbia chose force of arms, and for its folly, is losing everything. And folly it was.

From GAB
" Because a war starts with nationalism and it can expand when others interfere in the matter."
A couple of points.
One. The Bosnian Muslim leader had stated many times that he wanted to create a Caliphate. Know what a Caliphate is?
He also wanted to introduce Islamic law into a European country. Any problems with that? He'd been a supporter of Kohmeini from the early h's and thought that Israel had no right to exist.
So it didn't even start off as being simply a nationalist fight.
It was Religious from the off.
Secondly, there are many, many wars in the world where neither Iran nor Israel play any role. So why Bosnia?
The answer's easy. See point one.
To: GAB-1955
That should read,
"He'd been a supporter of Kohmeini from the early 60's and thought that Israel had no right to exist."
