Sir,

The current American government policy of supporting the Serbian and Croatian territories in the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina rewards some of the world's worst war criminals and makes future peace and prosperity a dim reality for the people of much of South Eastern Europe.

The United States backs and supports both the Republika Srpska as well as the former Croatian terror regime formerly known as the HVO that was led by the late Croatian genocidal mass murderer and Bosnian Croat leader Mate Boban.

US support for both the creation and the long range financial, political and military co-operation with these two terror-made entities is causing a large amount of misery and re-victimisation both the Bosnian Croatian as well as Bosnian populations of regions including Herzegovina and parts of Bosnia.

The US-led plan that broke Bosnia into pieces appears to some, and is hailed by the US government, as a peaceful solution to a horrible war that saw mass death and destruction. While today in Bosnia-Hercegovina there is no large-scale war, there are incidences of hate and killing brought on by these artificial political entities that rewarded the mass killers Mate Boban, Radovan Karadic and others. Long-term peace can only be achieved with humane leaders and better quality political representation in these entities as well as the region itself. The US provided 16 500 assault rifles to the HVO. The HVO arm of terror shot thousands of rounds of artillery onto the Herzegovinian capital of Mostar, then occupied by a Bosnian population. The success of the extreme Bosnian Croat government and political existence in the Muslim-Croat federation was an American-led act of arming a group that starved, tortured, raped, murdered and destroyed the city of Mostar and numerous other locations in both Bosnia and Herzegovina. Long-term quality peace is not possible if the US allows or supports such groups to exist as well as arming them. The peace is false and there are already signs of a future war. The damage that the US is doing and has done have strengthened groups including al-Qaeda who now have a worldwide agenda and have had success in attacking numerous countries and armies around the earth. Much of the current Islamist militant war against the policies, countries and people of the Western- and American-led world were encouraged as a result of the hatred that was produced because of the suffering of the population of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The US fanned the fire of extreme Islam and now Americans are paying for it in the streets of Baghdad and elsewhere in the Middle East. America owes its citizens a policy that encourages peace towards the US and its people. The policies that built and support the terror-based Serb and Croat entities in Bosnia-Herzegovina encourage violence that will one day lead to another horrible war. This could have bad effects on the future safety and security of the US and that is unacceptable for everyone.
