SFOR is disgracing and shaming us again in BiH..!
ESLaPorte
starters, what SFOR does in the name of our beloved NATO - also "for the
Atlantic Community" - is disgraceful! First of all, this Author is not
"pro-Serb," "pro-Russian" - but pro-Atlantic Community and especially
pro-North Atlantic Treaty. What SFOR does in BiH, espically in the town of
Pale, is to spit on the North Atlantic Treaty and SFOR needs to stop calling
itself part of NATO. I have stopped, for a long time, concidering SFOR as
part of NATO, and therefore associated with the North Atlantic Treaty. This
Author no longer associates SFOR with our beloved NATO Alliance and
therefore with the North Atlantic Treaty and the Atlantic Community!
Our Atlantic Alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty should not be dragged
down to the gutter level that SFOR drags them down to!
Second - the North Atlantic Treaty is for the Bosnian Serbs, just as it is
for Czechs, Poles and Croats, and all peoples. There are those who are
working to bring the Serbian people, as well as Russian, to the place where
they are allies of the Atlantic Community and NATO... The actions of SFOR
trounce the spirit of the North Atlantic Treaty and cause unnecessary
setbacks in bringing the Serbian people to the Atlantic Community and the
Serbian people's rightfully place in being associated with the North
Atlantic Treaty.
Third - this notion the Serbia cannot be associated with NATO and the
Atlantic Community until two war criminals are produced CHEAPENS our North
Atlantic Treaty and Atlantic Community. The North Atlantic Treaty, its
priciples, values and purposes, are of greater value that two war criminals.
Our North Atlantic Treaty and association to our NATO and the Atlantic
Community should not be sold for that cheap!
SFOR is utterly shameful and disgraceful to us all in the Atlantic
Community...

Bullets fly as NATO troops carry out operation against war crimes suspect in
Bosnia
The Associated Press
March 31, 2004, Wednesday, BC cycle
By RADUL RADOVANOVIC, Associated Press Writer
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Gunfire and an explosion resounded early Thursday as NATO troops surrounded
a building in Pale, the city where top war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic
has taken refuge.
Two helicopters landed in front of the building. Soldiers carried two people
out on stretchers, and the choppers flew off.
Pale is the site of the headquarters of Karadzic, the leader of Bosnia's
Serbs during the republic's ethnic war - Europe's worst bloodshed since
World War II.
He is indicted by the U.N. tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, on suspicion
of war crimes.
Capt. Dave Sullivan, a spokesman for the NATO-led peacekeeping force in
Bosnia, said it was "an ongoing operation regarding persons indicted for
war-crimes." He refused to go into details beyond saying that American,
British and other international troops were involved.
About 100 residents - some angry, others confused - gathered around the
area, cordoned off by peacekeepers with white tape in the center of Pale,
ends...

murder on a scale that makes 9/11 pale into insignificance, brings either
SFOR or NATO into disrepute is frankly stupid.
If you believe in a defensive alliance, then you must stand by the rule of
law. That means both following the rule of law yourself and pursuing those
who break it. How exactly does insisting on obedience to the rule of law
cheapen NATO?
How exactly do the Serbian people have "a right" to be part of NATO? NATO
is a defensive alliance, a club of like-minded nations - you join by
invitation.
Sorry - can't take you seriously. Bye Bye.
