guess I triggered the *KEY* word here, didn't I?

	^^^^^^^

with all due respect to your sources, I thought whole YNA has 100,000
soldiers. isn't your number just a little bit high? (no I do not have
contra-sources, but the number seems too high)


>	So, when the Serbian reservists and officers, together with
>all heavy military hardware, withdraw from B&H,


without trying to propose that YNA should stay in B&H, let me give you an
example WHAT happened, which IMHO shows a few things :


a) YNA was told to stay in barracks, to which as far as I hear they obey.

b) when there was shooting in Sarajevo they all were screaming and bitcchin'
at YNA, saying "zasto ne urade nesto".

c) (little bit irrelevant) with all respect and simpathy for people dies
from shooting in Sarajevo, I have to point out the fact that confuses me.
Since the rally that was shoot at, was holding Tito's pictures and singing
"Jugoslavija" (I suppose this mean they want to stay within YU, does it
not?), I must say that it is either Serbian population wishing to stay
within YU (as it is known) or if it was NOT Serbian population, then, who
the hack was asking to stay in YU? Muslims? Croats? WHO?

of course, if it was just "staged" by those dam Serbs so it looks like B&H
people want to stay in YU, then how come that "Serbian snaipers" were
shooting at them???????????????????????

If those "Serbian snaipers" were Arkan guys, wasn;t they supposed to fight
for "preserving all Serbs in one state?".


I am sorry but this really confuses me, any explanation???????

BTW, in YNA there are other people, like retired ones, who for example are
not getting their pensions for months. do you suggest the exodus for them
too? and how about just a little bit of simpathy for a lynch call for
families of YNA officers (like their children did anything IF their fathers
did, tccc tcccc - osveta im razum pomutila.....)


> and when the
>government in Belgrade recognizes the sovereignty of Bosnia and
>Herzegovina, we might be able to speak of equal responsibility.


Hm. this one is wierdo, that's for sure. I mean what does "recognition" has
to do with responcibility? or you were just saying just for the heck of it?


>	If this had already happened, do you think there would be
>the war as it is going on in B&H?

recognition would not influence it at all. Though the "retreat of YNA" seems
unlikely, I think the good move should have been that YNA was simply
reformed into professional army, and whoever pulls the gun in B&H, Army
simply take care of him as every army in the world. Of course, YNA should be
reformed, but generals do not listen.
