I am a third year law student at University of San Francisco. I am doing a long paper on mass rape in war. In particular I am focusing on the status of the individual claims that sex slaves of WWII are making in District Court in Tokyo. I am also addressing the legal redress that Muslim women can and are seeking to obtain due to the atrocities they experienced. First of all it is nice to speak to someone who is also working on such a difficult issue. I myself become emotionally exhausted and find it difficult to believe that serbian soldiers enjoyed all of this. Could you please point me to some information regarding your "brain wash" theory. I find that to be an interesting perspective, however, unfortunately I have not been exposed to it. Also, I do not believe that Catherine Mackinnon believes that pornography is solely responsible for the rapes in Bosnia. I think that her point is that pornography played a central role in motivating the soldiers to rape. It's kinda like the chicken and the egg question. In a case like this, where it is difficult to determine, what came first, the chicken or the egg, I myself have know problems assigning blame to violent pornography if in the future it could protect women from rape. Thanks for listening :-) and good luck.

Iam working on a study of the Bosnian culture in general. but more specifically I am concerned with the effects the war is having on the culture if any. Any information that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
