Our Atlantic Alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty should not be dragged
down to the gutter level that SFOR drags them down to!

Second - the North Atlantic Treaty is for the Bosnian Serbs, just as it is
for Czechs, Poles and Croats, and all peoples.  There are those who are
working to bring the Serbian people, as well as Russian, to the place where
they are allies of the Atlantic Community and NATO... The actions of SFOR
trounce the spirit of the North Atlantic Treaty and cause unnecessary
setbacks in bringing the Serbian people to the Atlantic Community and the
Serbian people's rightfully place in being associated with the North
Atlantic Treaty.

Third - this notion the Serbia cannot be associated with NATO and the
Atlantic Community until two war criminals are produced CHEAPENS our North
Atlantic Treaty and Atlantic Community. The North Atlantic Treaty, its
priciples, values and purposes, are of greater value that two war criminals.
Our North Atlantic Treaty and association to our NATO and the Atlantic
Community should not be sold for that cheap!

SFOR is utterly shameful and disgraceful to us all in the Atlantic
Community...

Bullets fly as NATO troops carry out operation against war crimes suspect in
Bosnia

The Associated Press
March 31, 2004, Wednesday, BC cycle

 By RADUL RADOVANOVIC, Associated Press Writer

PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Gunfire and an explosion resounded early Thursday as NATO troops surrounded
a building in Pale, the city where top war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic
has taken refuge.

Two helicopters landed in front of the building. Soldiers carried two people
out on stretchers, and the choppers flew off.

Pale is the site of the headquarters of Karadzic, the leader of Bosnia's
Serbs during the republic's ethnic war - Europe's worst bloodshed since
World War II.

He is indicted by the U.N. tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, on suspicion
of war crimes.

Capt. Dave Sullivan, a spokesman for the NATO-led peacekeeping force in
Bosnia, said it was "an ongoing operation regarding persons indicted for
war-crimes." He refused to go into details beyond saying that American,
British and other international troops were involved.

If you believe in a defensive alliance, then you must stand by the rule of
law.  That means both following the rule of law yourself and pursuing those
who break it.  How exactly does insisting on obedience to the rule of law
cheapen NATO?

How exactly do the Serbian people have "a right" to be part of NATO?  NATO
is a defensive alliance, a club of like-minded nations - you join by
invitation.

Sorry - can't take you seriously.  Bye Bye.

VIVA  Montenegro Forever :)

Second, I am not Serbian, but we in the Atlantic Community (which produced
the NATO Alliance in 1949), would like to welcome the Serbian peoples of the
Balkans in peace and freedom to our Atlantic Alliance. The Serbian people
are destined to become parties to the North Atlantic Treaty, dispite SFOR
brutality, and that is for certian! Please do not take the disgraceful
actions of SFOR to be represent those of us who are pro-NATO and involved in
transatlantic affairs and Atlantic organizations!!!

Now, as a student and supporter of NATO I have followed the actions of SFOR
for some time and I find them quite disgraceful and shameful, as well as
discusting! The actions of SFOR should not be taken as representative of
what the ALL of us who support our belove NATO Alliance and are patriots of
the Atlantic Alliance.

There are those in NATO and the Atlantic Councils who are trying to bring
the Serbian people into the Atlantic family and into NATO. The actions of
SFOR serves only to set us back in that goal, and I have stated this several
times in faxes to the SecGen's office. The actions of SFOR are contary to
the spirit, values and goals of the North Atlantic Treaty.

The Bosnian Serbs are going to be parties to the North Atlantic Treaty, as
the North Atlantic Treaty is meant for the Bosnian Serbs too. Just what part
of "they desire to live in peace with all people and all governments"
doesn't SFOR understand?!

As a NATO patriot, student of the North Atlantic Treaty and fellow peace and
freedom  loving human being I would like to say "SORRY" to the Bosnian Serbs
on behalf of the people of the Atlantic Community!

Rather than shooting at Bosnian Serbs - we should be passing out the North
Atlantic Treaty in Serbo-Croat to our Serbian friends in Pale!  We involved
in the Atlantic organizations would like to have more Serbian people and
those of Serbian decent involved, but the actions of SFOR make this very
difficult! Serbian people are welcome to the NATO Citizen site as well as to
express their outrage, which I can fax to NATO SecGen and other people in
NATO. I am considering putting together a protest effort through the
Atlantic Councils and the ATA, as well as through other sources, to get SFOR
to stop the brutality and violence against Bosnian Serbs and purge
anti-Serbian bigotry from SFOR enlisted troops.

Please join me !

If you are interested in putting up a meaningful effort to change SFOR's
behavior - democratically - through various Atlantic Councils, the NATO PA
and I am open to that.  I will say something... I am considering attending
the various pro-NATO forums and other activities this year, starting in
Norfolk. I am also considering contacting the Serbian Unity Congress and
offering to work with them on protesting SFOR's behavior through various
Atlantic Associations and the NATO PA and perhaps through the a writing
campaign...

I intend to at least do something...

Dear Mr. Scheffer:
I learned of the brutal actions of SFOR - for the umpteenth time - with
great anger and sadness. Every single brutal action that SFOR executed on
the Serbian people in the Balkans, especially in BiH moves us further away
from bringing the Serbian people into the Atlantic family. SFOR must stop
these brutal search practices, or we shall get nowhere but backwards in our
stated goals!

Second - along with the brutal actions of SFOR, this notion the Serbia
cannot be associated with NATO and the Atlantic Community until two war
criminals are produced CHEAPENS our North Atlantic Treaty and Atlantic
Community. The North Atlantic Treaty, its principles, values and purposes,
are of greater value that two war criminals. Our North Atlantic Treaty and
association to our NATO and the Atlantic Community should not be sold for
that cheap!

Third - I have noted that for sometime, from the news reports, that there is
a rather anti-Serbian culture present in and among SFOR troops. A while
back, a former member of SFOR sent me an e-mail indicating that SFOR troops
are taught to believe that the Serbs "are crazy about war" and "can't be
trusted and are chronic liars."  What we should do is purge the anti-Serb
mentality from the ranks of SFOR and remove the peace enforcement status of
SFOR to peacekeeping - and purge Bosnian Muslim "helpers" from the ranks of
SFOR. In short, SFOR should stop with the anti-Serbian bigotry and organized
campaigns of violence against Pale Serbs.

SFOR is utterly shameful and disgraceful to us all in the Atlantic Community
and sets us farther away from our goals of a Europe "whole and free" and the
rightful place of the Serbian people in the Atlantic family! Rather than
shooting at Bosnian Serbs - we should be passing out the North Atlantic
Treaty in Serbo-Croatian in Pale!

What this Author is also alarmed at is that after the serious wounding of a
priest and his son - why has no statement of apology from our Alliance been
issued?!
