Bosnians Security

Nearly 100 Bosnian travelers whose convoy was shelled by Croatian forces reached safety Saturday after spending a cold night outside a U.N. base where their appeals for shelter were ignored by British troops. The soldiers later relented and escorted the besieged civilians to the relatively calm central city of Zenica. But the overnight standoff in which at least one elderly man collapsed from exposure and exhaustion illustrated the shortcomings of a U.N.

In the last two weeks the American people and the majority of the world community have apathetically followed the transmogrification of the U.N. peacekeeping mission into a direct military intervention against one party in a civil war. A variety of false reasons, used as a smoke screen for the general public (the first, the explosion at the marketplace in Sarajevo, staged by the Bosnian-Muslim government, a phony and fraudulent pretext) are pushed out of focus. The only veritable objective for NATO's grand-scale terrorist operation--to totally destroy the military potential of the Bosnian Serbs.
