NEWS & LETTERS, February-March 2006Our Life and Times by Kevin A. BarryBosnia anniversaryIt is the tenth anniversary of the Dayton Accords, the rotten U.S.-orchestrated compromise that ended the Bosnian and Croatian Wars of 1991-95 by ceding over half of Bosnian territory to Serbian forces.

His relatives and two Serbian military officers are authorized to make withdrawals. |
