Some Person Who Thinks the EU should NOT Insist on the Arrest of Mladic

Croatian Health Ministry Announces that every patient will pay five kuna. Of course the reality is that patients already pay a bit in small bribes. I think there would be less complaint about this official fee if something were to be done about the unofficial 'fees' which are paid!

Mom Can I go to the Mall?

On a personal note, on this day five years ago I arrived back in the gulag after a visit to my fiance in BiH and Croatia. Much as I looked forward to seeing my children and then new grandchild, it was hard to return home.
It was never easy to look out the window and see Sarajevo getting smaller below the plane. In fact each time I left I cried like a baby, and not just because I was already missing my fiance. I liked it there, because it was the first place I went that I felt at home and normal. I'm not saying I dislike other places I've lived, that isn't true. I love my family and I love my country, but there is something special I found in BiH, and in Croatia, and not just on the first visit! I hope to be able to go back.

I am glad you posted this! I have to say that it is the most awful business ! As if there needed to be more weapons of any size in Iraq!
How much do you want to bet such weapons end up in the hands of people who are shooting at our soldiers umm can everyone say 'The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing'?
 
Owen, that link goes to a medical website, not to the article you wanted me to see. Could you please put it in a comment, I'd like very much to see it! Thanks!
 
Thanks Owen, I of all people understand that brain dead feeling! :)
