Total victory? meaning Hrvatska do Drine? it can be done too I think but in a sensible way.
: While I respect each individuals right to make
: thier own choices in life I will not have a
: bar of supporting option two in theory or in
: practice. To me it is defeatist and it will
: only blemish the future prospects for those
: Croats who remain in BiH. I am still of the
: view that we should do everything in our
: means to facilitate the return of Croats
: thoughout BiH to thier ancestral homes and we
: should continue to support those who remain
: there to this day.
: Option two is the easy way out, a short cut
: and whenever you take that route you get
: found out in the end. Option two is a huge
: comprimise that legitimises (Dayton does to
: some extent) the Serb military, political
: and ideological ambition on Bosna and futher
: cemments her gains.
: What does it say about our past going forward
: in this century? Croats have been under more
: worser conditions in the past and continued
: to fight and stay true to thier nation. What
: the Ottomans did. Yugoslavia was totlitarian
: and dealt with Croat dissidents ruthlessly.
: Today we have a small voice but we have
: choice and freedoms we could only have dreamt
: about in the past. We have an independant
: Croatia which might have it's hands tied at
: the moment but it can support BiH Croats
: through non political means at least.
: I'd hate to harp on the past but we need to
: do two things properly which we did not do in
: the past. One- to listen to the collective
: voices of the Croats in BiH. Two- treat all
: Croats the same regardless of what region
: they are from and political preference they
: have ect... Do not give preferential
: treatment to some and lip service to others
: (and you all know what I'm talking about).
: The way it's going with the internationalists
: these days is that they want to come up with
: some sort of phsyco Swiss model for BiH. I
: see a comprimise that won't happen but it
: would be a nice thought. A comprimise that
: gives more of a chance for future peace and
: stability in the region and is fair. They can
: have their Swiss model bullshit if Croatia is
: granted it's Banovinas boaders (including
: bosanska Posavina and a rough Herceg Bosna).
: The new BiH would be far more compact and it
: would negate much of Croatias curfufull.
: I still believe in total victory. It is
: achieveable and I will never give up hope.
