Cherif Bassiouni, head of the UN "Experts Commission"
investigating war crimes, while underfunded by the UN, has still
managed to collect allegations of 25,000 crimes in Bosnia based on
religious and ethnie hatred. Most involve allegations against the
Serbs. "UN Needs Ta Focus on Har ..crimes Tribunal," Chicag.Q

Patrick Glynn of CQmm:ntarY- magazine and Henry Siegman, a
formEr Holocaust survivor and executive director of the American
Jewish Congress, have pointed out that the real goal of the Serbs
is to extinguish Bosnia as a state and destroy its people. Bath
noted that the world' s exp:ressions of impotence against the
genocide in Bosnia are reminiscent of the sarne arguments the world
used in stating its helplessness to help the Jews of Nazi Germany.
Glynn warned of the consequences when he stated:
"Tyrants motivated by nothing more complicated than
primitive ethnie fanaticism are allowed to get away with
mass murder. The voices of the rational and the tolerant -
for example, officiais of the secular-rninded Bosnian
government - have been drowned out by the guns of the ethnie
fanatics."
