The children must be saved, only they are innocent, the rest of us are the guilty ones.
Its a pretty moving tale of a young orphan girl rescued by a British war journalist juxtaposed with the Balkan war between Serbs, Croats and the hapless Muslims. Why the Balkans erupted after the end of the communist regime is difficult to understand as it remains unprecedented in contemporary Europe. I mean there were other failed communist states which did not fall to chaos, apart from maybe Chechnya. I got a pretty good idea of the Balkan war in the 1990's but could not understand the hate among the population. There is something seriously wrong with the whole region. The brutality demonstrated by the Christians both Orthodox and Catholics in the Balkans is stupendous, much worst than the Africans. Much more has to written about this war, it's reasons and it's implications.
