One should also remember that Croatia as it is known had only existed on this scale after the Second World War. The homes and land in Krajina had been mainly owned by the Serbian people for centuries, in fact it was an area mainly 95% Serb. One should read their history before making an assumption that this was an occupation; it was not an occupation by Serbs but their homes. I think that these Serbian people should be allowed to go back to their homes but this is obviously being prevented to the point whereby even today the little remaining Serbs in the region of Krajina are being shot, their homes and livlihood stolen from them and the Croatian Government is not doing anything to prevent this - in any Western Government it would be an abuse of any ordinary persons basic human rights but to-date nothing has been done to prevent this by the Croatian government. It is obviouse that the condonation of this goes to prove that the Croaitan government does not the people of this land to live in their [Croatian] country. To condone what has happened in Krajina would be to condone what happened in Bosian with their forms of ethnic cleansing. Surely you are not saying that you are happy to condone ethnic cleansing, as from this side of the screen this would seem to be the message you are sending to someone of intelligence who has read history and knows that this was Serbian land not Croaitan land - this was Dalmatcia not Croatia
