What were they doing there, pretending to defend tens of thousands of refugees with a few dozen apc's and one, I repeat one, heavy machine gun? And this for more than two years. The Danes, when they moved in, at least brought tanks to defend their own air strip... The Brits and French brought tanks and the French regularly used them, as well as their fighter planes, when necessary.

    Think of the killer reputation the Bosnian Serbs had build for themselves during that time. I mean, how naive can you get. It was criminal neglect. That is what I wrote in my paper back then, and I still stand by it.
