Atrocities in Bosnia
I am surprised and angered at the headlines and coverage of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina by your paper. I am a 25-year-old first-generation Serbian-American and I am intelligent enough to know that there are always two sides to every story.
Innocent Serbian children, women and men are being held in Croatian and Muslim detention camps where they are being treated under the same circumstances as people in the Serbian camps. Though the reports of atrocities have not been confirmed, your paper has found the Serbian people guilty of Holocaust-level crimes.
The Serbs in Bosnia are fighting to preserve the land that they were born on and are entitled to live on. My aunt, uncle and cousins should not be forced to live under Muslim rule if they choose not to.
If foreign powers and the U.S. get involved in this war, it will be another Vietnam. As a superpower, the U.S. should work to satisfy all sides in the former Yugoslavia through peaceful means, not through added aggression.
