Ok, why don't we get straight to the point? UN Forces in Sarajevo are
actually payed mercenaries of Serbian Chetnik Terrorists. I mean you'd save
quite some space by just stating the above sentence instead of analyzing the
whole thing. Actually if you wish me I can do something similiar - I can
prove that Gen.MacKenzie did everything in his power to harm Serbs. I can
make up a list of stuff that UN/McKenzie did that was unfavourable to Serbs
('unfourable' is nice way of saying... you know what...). And where does
this leads us to?

I have an interesting conclusion which came after I heard one Sarajevo
resident (presumably Muslim/Croat?) who said 'UN forces are actually paid
mercenaries of Serbian CHetnik Terrorists'. At that point I realized that
any UN/US joint military action would be a problem - because each side in
the conflict - Croatian, Muslim and Serbian would preceive them as enemies.
As far as I know, McKenize is very impartial about situation on Balkans
(IMHO). UN also tried to treat all parties equally - they treated Bosnian
Serb leader Karadzic and BH President Izetbegovic as equal in the
negotiations - of course Bosnian Muslims were not in favour in this (on of
BH official said 'how can they treat us and that baby killer equally?')...

anyway, no matter what UN does, there is allways one side that does not like
the solution, and according to the atmosphere on Balkans, "if you are not
with us, you are against us"....
