I am not a Serb....I know lots of them...I work with GENUINE refugees....not illegals.

I must tell you that yesterday some Bosnian muslims refugees who live in my city said that they would HELP the mujahaideens....they LOVE them!! THEY WERE BRAGGING AND ARGUING with the Serbs in the same apartments and were waving GREEN FLAGS with Abrabic looking writings on them!!!

I saw this, as I was delivering clothes to some African refugees. My daughter heard more things about the party from her friend the apartment manager.

BACKGROUND:
You see several years ago, I met these same refugees at their new apartments...they had been in Bosnia. After working to help them to get clothes and the usual household items...I was invited by another set of them who had been here for about 1 year and could speak English pretty well...especiallly the older teenagers. It was a birthday party and some other sort of party.

AH......the ENTERTAINMENT!! It was a film of their military "exploits" in Bosnia. Let's see...My West Point educated, career Army dad,my Navy vet husband and I thought it was just a "film" but as it turned out...THEY SAID IT WAS REAL and actually thought that we would enjoy it!! UCK!!!

IT WAS the mujahadeen....and their Bosnian allies...Now, these guys were SO PROUD of their associations with them. My husband and I had not at that time become really interested in the Balkans....ah, we were "with the rest of the sleeping sheepels". In fact....we believed that crap about the Serbs being "villians".

That being said...we are not fans of war...or films thereof...so, we made rapid exit!! I must tell you...IT WAS WAY BEYOND DISGUSTING!!! My dad said that thought the nazis were BAD but these devils were WORSE!!

Before we did manage to leave ...we heard from these Bosnians how happy they were to "BUTCHER SERBS LIKE PIGS and roast their bodies". In fact, it was stressed to my husband that the mujahadeen had killed hundreds of "PIG SERBS" that way! They laughed and said,"THAT they did NOT eat the PIGS"!!

We never returned for that reason AND I must hasten to add...that we also thought...people who can afford to party,drink and smoke...do not NEED OUR HELP!

Plus, I must add that we had helped several families from bosnia....and one man was especially nasty and said that we could help ONLY his family or FACE trouble from him. We stopped helping him Immediately!!

Oh, and that selfish jerk from bosnia went on to be arrested for selling liquor to teens in the "club" he opened for bosnians.

Our experiences with 99% bosnian refugees here, ALMOST made us stop assisting refugees because they abused the gifts of friendship and were just awful folks! WHAT A WASTE!!

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. However, we will definitely be opening our home to that Bosnian family, as well as some Indian friends should they need us. We'll be doing other things as well. As to the Bosnians, war does freaky things to people. Our friends got out with a certain grisly humor along with the nightmares, but it isn't much different than the one Americans came home from Viet Nam with. And as with most of our Viet Nam vets, these folks didn't let what they saw ruin their sense of right and wrong. It is you and I who have to take personal responsibility for for what America is and what Americans can be. Hope you'll decide to keep doing what you can.
