A partnered gay guy living in UK. I have a thing about speed cameras and the disengenous way they are portrayed as a safety device when we all know it is about revenue creation. We are still being shafted by the Banks we bailed out when they failed and were not asked if we wanted our hard earned cash to be used in that way. Should we have let them go to the wall and start again? I love anything to do with horses and the countryside, I have a problem with keeping weight off and constantly try to look younger (yes I am vain!) he he

WW, thanks for your comment to the horrifying, shameful decision of Dutch MoD to hand to the DutchBat medals for their "courage". I am Bosnian myself and the whole nation was in shock when we heard they would be given awards - those brave soldiers who stood by and let 8000 people get killed in front of their very eyes, just around the corner of their HQ and in the woods. Did you know that when the DutchBat bravely left the crime scene and travelled to Zagreb they made a wild party and got drunk as if nothing had happened!
If you are interested, there is an article summary related to this written by a DutchBat interpreter. Too bad the whole article is not translated to English. http://www.bosnjaci.net/egt.php?id=990&polje=
Best,

Jasmin,
Thank you for your comments. What can I say..I have read the article and shame does not adequately describe how Dutchbat should feel.
I cannot imagine how it feel's to watch your family walk into almost certain death. It's an apalling thought!!
For trained soldiers to stand by and watch and do nothing is an affront to the civilised world. For them to value life in such a cheap way is beyond contempt.
For the sake of those who died so needlessly, we in the rest of the world must NEVER forget about this deplorable period in your history.
Peace be with you Jasmin, I share your's and your fellow countryman's pain in this.
Thank you, my friend. Peace be with you too. I've bookmarked your blog.
Jasmin
