"This city needs to stop for a moment and pay tribute to its killed citizens," said Haris Pasovic, organizer of the "Sarajevo Red Line."
The Serb siege of Sarajevo went on longer than the World War II 900-day siege of Leningrad
Thanks to CBS for this story, always hard to understand what happened there.
I was in Sarajevo during the war and I went horror of the war, lot of my friends were killed or wounded. 11541 is huge number but as someone said " one death is tragedy 100 is statistics" I couldn't release how many people is 11541 'till now. Today while I was walking along 11541 chairs I couldn't stop my tears for all those that have their chairs on the street. I am 44 and I thought that I have seen everything in my life and that nothing can not touch me, but when I saw rows of small chairs my heart wanted jump out of my chests as well as when I saw names of my friends on the video wall that was showing names of those killed during the siege. Sarajevo needed this commemoration event to pay respect to fallen and warn us that we have to build our society of equal, free and proud regardless national, religious or any other affiliation despite to those that still want to divide us. These 11541 chairs are prove that those affiliations were not important for those that were killing us during the siege.

Feel free to check up on the german uits delpoyed with the UN and what occured to them when they entered a few cities.. That old nazi salute came back by the people who greeted them.... What about the rape camps? Or are those 50k muslims lying about that?
Whatever the British news team's intentions may have been, their pictures were seen around the world as the first hard evidence of concentration camps in Bosnia. 'The Proof: behind the barbed wire, the brutal truth about the suffering in Bosnia', announced the Daily Mail alongside a front-page reproduction of the picture from Trnopolje: 'They are the sort of scenes that flicker in black and white images from 50-year-old films of Nazi concentration camps.' (7 August 1992) On the first anniversary of the pictures being taken, an article in the Independent could still use the barbed wire to make the Nazi link: 'The camera slowly pans up the bony torso of the prisoner. It is the picture of famine, but then we see the barbed wire against his chest and it is the picture of the Holocaust and concentration camps.' (5 August 1993)

Muslim state or not, there is NO excuse for the crimes that were committed!!!!
NO EXCUSE!
Again, my understanding is vague but I do remember the media building up Milosevic as a monster. That's all I remember of this conflict.

And I can supply you with Un documentation of the rapes but somehow I think you will ignore it. In your mind I get the impression that anything type of information that challenges your view is dismissed as a lie / false. Going back to my origional comment and question - Is it possible that what you witnessed as a child has so clouded / jaded your view point that you cannot see the trees while standing in the forest?

Why is it so hard for you to engage in debate and discussion without launching attacks against people who don't agree with your position?
