Dear Goof, stop trying to relate the beat up people of Gorazde in 1994 with the Nazi past. Pro Nazi town? I don't believe Nazism was their top priority of the day but more like hoping to see the sun rise the next morning without the complication of a Bosnian Serb bullet in the back of the head. A rather humble daily request to hope for I would think. Every one beat up on the Muslims and demonize them for the way they reacted?
Your nationalistic B.S. reeks of pro Milosivic/Arkan support which is quit obvious in your regard to the battered population in Gorzde. Like in all the Muslim enclaves the Muslims got the worst of it during the Bosnian war and you make it sound like they are the ultimate evil that did what they wanted and to whom ever, but you fail to look in your own back yard. The Mulsims fought back any way they could despite the obvious disadvantage they had and if they stole weapons to do it I believe any population as desperate as they were would have done the same thing including you and your limited cerebral capacity.
Remember your other hero General Mladic and the fun he had at Srebrenica in 1995? The Bosnian Serb Military succeeded that time. You are another one of those simpletons that only sees evil in one direction but refuses to acknowledge the evil exhibited by the side you support. A true supporter of genocide if I have ever met one. I realy want to know what qualifies you in making the remarks you do? In any case please connect to the National Post and search for an article titled "Canada's Unsung 'Superhero'." It is the personal account of one of the unarmed U.N. military observers who was responsible for saving the town of Gorazde in 1994 from your so callws heroes in the Bosnian Serb Army and the ethnic cleansing that was sure to follow. Their is a great photo of the Bosnian Serb armor sent to deal with lightly armed civilians. I'm sure your proud of them, the Bosnian Serb Army I mean. Now try and open your mind and wonder if all that B.S. you believe in is true. After all maybe its you who is full of shit.
Here is an excerpt of the article if in case you are to closed minded to go and check it out.
"Lt.-Col. Stogran admired the Muslim defenders' courage; they were making a valiant effort. But as he stood on the Gradina ridge that April 14, he knew the town was ripe for the taking. "We could see the valley that had recently been seized by the Serbs but had not yet been razed. I could distinctly hear screams coming from the area.... It was a sorrowful sight that I shall never forget," he wrote in his diary. Soon after, Lt.-Col. Stogran, two SAS soldiers and an interpreter reached the front-line trenches of the town's defenders: "The Muslim troops were not clad in uniforms, but were wearing the same clothing that they wore in the fields of their farms. Hunting rifles abounded, not assault rifles. They fired only single rounds in an effort to conserve ammunition and make every shot count. Those poor men reminded me of my relatives who farm on the Prairies -- not soldiers, and they made no bones about it. They were scared shitless, but had no alternative but to defend themselves," he later wrote in his diary."
The assault didn't work out quite like they hoped, however, so 'ethnic cleansing' kind of backfired on them.
Oops.

"It hardly matters who started the fight. What does matter is that the Serbs won a swift military victory."

"UN peacekepers have urged the Bosnian government army to avoid provocative attacks on rebel Serbs at a time when they feel cornered by a new U.S.- Russian peace process, senior U.N. sources say. They said a renewed onslaught on the Moslem pocket of Gorazde and random shelling of government centes along the fringes of the Croat-Moslem peace zone in central Bosnia may have been incited by government infantry probes against Serb positions in recent weeks."
Guardian Jan 28, 1995 "Sir Michael's view that Gorazde was, by the standards of a hard time not suffering exceptional damage looked nonsensical from the pictures of great numbers of roofs clean off the houses. It looked so until the general pointed out that taking a roof off is the sure sign of ethnic cleansing - here, the ethnic cleansing of Serbs by Muslims, something to have happened long before the siege."
