    BOSNIA STORM

    DEATH SENTENCE TO BOSNIA BEHIND THE DAYTON'S CLOSED DOORS

    Tuesday, 11 June 1996

    
     
     
     
    If you are concerned about the US soldiers in Bosnia, do not blame Bosnia. US soldiers 
    will stay in Bosnia as long as Milosevic needs them to ensure that Bosnian refugees who 
    want to go back home will not be able to do so. Why? Please note that, by the Dayton 
    agreement, US soldiers are guarding the borders of the Serb Republic (the graveyard state 
    created by methods of genocide and war crimes) and not the state borders that the 
    American people recognized on April 7, 1992. 
     
    If you think that Clinton's Bosnia envoy Richard Holbrook is a good businessman, you 
    are right, since he sold Milosevic's plan for (first ilegal, than legal) carving Bosnia to the 
    world as the US plan from Dayton. While speaking about the necessity of Bosnian 
    elections, against the wishes of the Bosnian people, and their ability to vote he was 
    selling out the some basic principles of the American people and US troops in Bosnia, 
    too. 
     
    If you think the NATO exercise against Serbian military positions in Bosnia (summer 
    1995) brought peace to Bosnia you are right. The NATO bombs destroyed a few of Serb 
    warehouses, but gave them what they could never get by legal means or by war: Dayton 
    papers (November, 1995) upholding the creation of a new state, on half of Bosnian land, 
    protected and guaranteed by the US military. But now the Administration is planing to 
    rebuild those warehouses with promises of financial credit, and is also insisting on 
    elections that will nullify Bosnia's pre-war Constitution and make final rendering of the 
    Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina irreversible forever. 
     
    If you believe the isolation of Karadjic is important for the implementation of Clinton's 
    Dayton agreement, you are right since the US Administration does not wish to jeopardize 
    Karadjic's project of creating "three Bosnias" with his notorious reputation of a war 
    criminal. Still, the Dayton Plan for Bosnia is nothing but Karadjic's Plan for "Three 
    Bosnia" minus Karadjic. It is designed to deceive not only the Bosnians but also the 
    Americans who asked for several years that something be done FOR Bosnia -- not 
    AGAINST Bosnia. 
     
    If you believe the Administration is representing US interests in Bosnia you are wrong 
    since Greater Serbia or Greater Croatia interests are not necessarily American interests.  
    De jure, a few Russians are under NATO command, but de facto, all US soldiers are 
    under Milosevic's or Karadjic's command.  Most recent example was an immediate 
    extradition of seven Bosnian survivors from Srebrenica to Karadjic's militia because they 
    were in uniform.  An American officer delivered those Bosnians to Karadjic's Serb 
    "authorities" because, for the US, Bosnian sovereignty is now a matter of the past after 
    Dayton agreement took effect. 
     
    If you think the Administration allowed Iranian arms to supply Bosnia you are wrong.  
    The majority of those supplies for Bosnia were aimed for, and ended up in, Croatia (as 
    that country became the new US/EU player against Bosnia; a shift that happened when it 
    was clear that Serbia alone was not powerful enough to render Bosnia). 
     
    If you think NATO stopped Karadjic's Serbs you are wrong. NATO bombed some 
    infrastructure only (not tanks or infantry), in eastern Bosnia; Karadjic lost western Bosnia 
    after he lost battle for Bihac (four years 
    long) town where Bosnians never accepted "safe havens" and "demilitarization".  It was 
    not NATO that stopped the Serbs but the fact that Karadjic's military was a war-crime 
    machine and not a war machine built for the long run.  Bosnian liberation advance was 
    stopped in Dayton when Serbs lost more than had been planned by the US 
    Administration. Most important linking territories were returned to Karadjic's "entity" 
    and Bosnian Army Bihac Corps again circled by the Croat and Serb "entities" 
     
    If you think the siege of Sarajevo is lifted, you are wrong, since the circular noose has 
    only expanded and Tudjman's Croats in Bosnia have the again permission (now backed 
    by the US) to join the blockade of Sarajevo institutions of still legal Republic and 
    blackmail Bosnians accepting (not yet legal) "entities". The Dayton Plan becomes a new 
    Bosnia Constitution and division of Bosnia permanent, only if ANY election occur in 
    Bosnia regardless of the results or abilities of refugees to vote. 
     
    You are also wrong if you think the Administration plans to arm Bosnians in accordance 
    with the Dayton agreement.  The major condition for that in Dayton plan is the 
    compliance of Croatia and the Bosnian Croats to join 
    in "Croat-Bosnian Federation". Why should a regime that counts on US support in 
    annexing a part of Bosnia be committed to working on a Croat-Bosnian Federation if the 
    arms embargo on Bosnia is to be lifted and Bosnians eventually released of the Croatia 
    communication blackmail. That embargo has made possible the Croatian ultra-nationalist 
    movement within Bosnia and forced the Bosnians to accept old and new blackmails of 
    new US allies -- the Croatian/Tudjmans separatist Mafia -- instead of Croats loyal to the 
    integral Bosnia and Sarajevo Republic institutions. 
     
    If you think President Clinton stopped the atrocities in Bosnia, you are wrong, since the 
    Bosnian army, with its local soldiers and their simple survival instinct, stopped them.  
    Actually, in order to stop the Bosnian Army advances and Congressional initiative to lift 
    the arms embargo on Bosnia, Clinton "bombed the Serbs (i.e., their warehouses) into 
    their acceptance of "only one half of" Bosnia, and declared the slaughter in Srebrenica a 
    "new opportunity for peace".  However, it is easy to have peace at home (or a "successful 
    foreign policy") if one gives the murderers what they want.  Representing Serb General 
    Mladic's genocide of the people in "UN demilitarized - safe havens" as the "Serb military 
    victories" was a method that Administration accepted in order to hide from Americans 
    the real military Serb inferiority on all other front-lines. 
     
    The real goal of NATO raids was hiding the truth of Serbian defeat by the Bosnians; it 
    was a panicked measure implemented to stop Congressional decision to lift the arms 
    embargo to Bosnians and allow the victim to win in this war.  Four years of Bosnian 
    victories was sold by Clinton to his own people as his victory in his pre-election 
    campaign. 
     
    If you think that "400 years of animosities in Bosnia" generate that in Bosnia "they kill 
    each other" (a quote from a Clinton speech) you are wrong. The administration gave clear 
    signs to Serbia that it accepted a new map in Bosnia in early 1993 after Warren 
    Christopher's visit to Europe.  That generated visions of success to Serbia -=- visions that 
    "ethnic cleancing" will work in spite of verbal US confrontation with Milosevic's people 
    in Bosnia.  If you think Secretary of State Christopher traveled in Europe in 1993 to ask 
    European leaders to heed the American public's demands that something be done to help 
    Bosnia, you are wrong. Instead, he asked European leaders to "pressure" him (and thus 
    the American people too) into accepting a Bosnia policy established by foreign countries 
    - one or two European allies. 
     
    If you think the US Administration is hiding evidence of Milosevic's guilt--about his 
    connection with concentration camps and genocide in Bosnia--because of concerns for 
    the allies in Europe, you are wrong. The Administration is in direct alliance with the 
    Milosevic/Tudjman regime as the two, plus some European leaders, proved insufficient 
    to transform Bosnia from a rational, modern, and parliamentary state, into a "Muslim 
    state".  That transformation was desirable to the Administration in order to turn your 
    feelings against very ordinary Bosnian people who are very similar to you.  You can read 
    such critics now in British press more than it could be expected after the Administration 
    accepted the British policy to help Serbia in reduce Bosnian's statehood rights  to have 
    Bosnia - to the religious autonomy on "some teritory for" Muslims a.k.a. "small Muslim 
    Bosnia".  Albanians already understud the message:  "they are the next " humanitarian 
    problem". If you think Administration's terminology (such as "Muslim led government") 
    is insignificant, occasional consider the consequences for the USA legal system and 
    integrity of state if the term "Protestant led government" was used for the USA. The 
    slaughter of Muslims in Bosnia was unavoidable for such transformation to be permanent 
    in the future and "Serb Bosnia" to be safe and Bosnian "voluntary" acceptance of Dayton 
    plan is necessary for such violation of UN charter to be "legal" and protected by NATO  
    against. some "illegal" Muslim militia (or terrorists and "fundamentalists") instead of  
    Bosnian State Army (armed with UN charter) in the future. 
     
    If you think it is an unavoidable consequence of the war, you are wrong. It is Milosevic's 
    idea of how to divide Bosnia after hundreds of years of its integrated history, and make it 
    acceptable to you. Simply put, the US is successfully translating his ideas, thus making it 
    acceptable to you that Russia finally expands its zone of influence over the river Drina. 
    All Administrations, before Clinton's, were aware of that border's importance; a border 
    that is now given out to war criminals, and their historical Russian allies, on their way to 
    the Mediterranean Sea. 
     
    If you think that President Clinton is not enough independent of the UN, you are wrong. 
    This is the first time in the history of the UN that one formally armed criminal separatist 
    movement succeeded in destroying a legal UN member state. The UN charter is thus 
    violated and US troops and US "credibility" feature as the guarantor of the existence and 
    safety of this illegally created "entity".  The term "entity" is Holbrook's diplomatic 
    marketing product intended to hide from Bosnians, and Americans too, the fact that the 
    half of the territory set up by an extreme nationalist movement has all the attributes that 
    International law requires for a real state: legislative, judical and executive powers. 
    Warren Christopher is a lawyer who knows full well what that implies. So a UN fraud, a 
    US public image crisis, and an armed minority group have led to the creation of a new 
    illegal state.  US has taken over a leading role in making it legal. 
     
    The US troops may withdraw from Bosnia only because the European Union, Greater 
    Serbia and Greater Croatia's advocates are concerned to face the event of the American 
    people questioning and discussing what exactly has been written here and much more. If 
    that happens, Bosnians in the USA sincerely thank the American public in advance -- in 
    the name of all Bosnians. But for now, unfortunately, American soldiers are positioned 
    between us and our homes, taking from us our visions for the future and giving our 
    homes to hundreds of war criminals.
