Back then, they were doing our job (the US is the one who got the muslims to back out of the 4 peace plans that would have averted war there), Bin Laden travelled freely there (Eve Prentice, the british journalist saw him) and we were led to believe that these fanatic killers were just out to take some mountain air. It bit us back when 9/11 hit but no one wants to talk about it even though we know that the planners were bosnia trained, just like we dont mention taht the only Madrid bombing suspect was caught in Bosnia or that almost all the S.Arabia Al Quaeda leaders were bosnian war veterans. Gee...were supporting them again? After creating them during the Carter years and using them during the Clinton, its nice to know that friends keep in touch no matter how much bad blood there is. Of course, this would demand that our media behaves slightly better than their communist counterparts and actually report news which dont just serve to confirm US foreign policy. People who read Pravda had a better idea what was happening in theworld than americans do.
