I would like to say that the so called "liberation" of Krajina was not a
liberation but a form of ethnic cleaning on a scale never seen before in
the whole of the Yugslavian conflict.  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
