And Western journalists were shocked and dismayed to see Mein Kamf in the windows of Sarajevo bookstores after the war was over. I wasn’t surprised. It was in the windows of Zagreb bookstores during the war. Some things are very, very slow to change. But it looks like Croatia has come a long way and I am glad to see who they elected as their current president (and he refuses to meet with neo-Nazi veterans’ groups, the first to do so).
