Typical news one gets to read in last few days:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Geneva,(adopted from N.Y. Times News Service):
   ....
   The Bosnian government has sought an exemption from the embargo
on the ground that it favors the Bosnian Serbs, who have continued
to be well supplied by the Serbian-dominated Yugoslav army.
Eagleburger had said he favored exempting the Bosnian government.
   ``It must never be forgotten that peace will only come to the
former Yugoslavia through negotiations,'' Lord Owen said in a
speech to foreign ministers and other representatives at the
29-nation conference.
   ....
   The mediators shared the British view that enforcement could
endanger the lives of U.N. peacekeeping troops deployed on the
ground and jeopardize the humanitarian effort. And they added their
voices to the chorus of those who oppose lifting the U.N. arms
embargo on all parties in the Balkan fighting.


Brussels,Belgium (adopted from UPI):
         ....
	As the regular fall session of NATO foreign ministers recessed for
lunch, officials said consensus was emerging to try once more to achieve
a concrete improvement of the situation in the former Yugoslavia by
peaceful means.
	The officials noted that both co-chairmen of the Yugoslav conference
in Geneva, Cyrus Vance and Lord Owen, had warned against military
intervention Wednesday and pleaded for more time to reach a peaceful
solution.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

  I don't get these guys (Owen and Vence). They are the same
individuals that strongly opposed the recognition of Slovenia and
Croatia for the sake of peace and stability in Balkans. It wasn't
until Germany's unilateral decision to go ahead with recognition
of the two states that Serbs were forced into first lasting 
cease-fire.
  `More time',`more negotiations',`peaceful solution' and similar
bool is only enough to fool subjects with IQ-40.  The peace will come
only after one of the sides is exterminated.  With arms embargo
hurting Bosnians it is not hard to figure out which.

   Concerning their opposition to the lifting of arms embargo
and claiming that would only cause more casualties in Bosnia
I wonder why the British themselves didn't follow this logic in
WW II and reject the US arms shipments to avoid killing more
German pilots bombing London.

  Are they (Owen and Vence) getting payed from the same funds as 
Bobby Fisher or is there just something about British intentions
that they even themselves are embarassed to speek out publicly ?

In conclusion, Europe, UN and US are helping  build an image
of the World as a place with no law and order, where only
military might counts. This is a dangerous precedence since we are
going to see many small countries building up nuclear arsenals in
the future, largely due to the loss of faith in UN or any of
the two superpowers.
