So the lives of Bosnian families saved mean nothing?
I didn't hear anything about Canada quelling a genocide... In fact... I've never heard of Canada really doing anything...
Nothing against Canadians but... it's currently (and has been for a while) policy for Canada to turn away refugees... and the ones that are given furlow are treated like swine...
The events in Srebrenica in 1995 included the killing of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims as well as the mass expulsion of another 25,000–30,000 Bosnian Muslims, in and around the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, committed by units of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of General Ratko Mladić.[2][3]
The ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serb Army targeted Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats. The ethnic cleansing campaign included unlawful confinement, murder, rape, sexual assault, torture, beating, robbery and inhumane treatment of civilians; the targeting of political leaders, intellectuals and professionals; the unlawful deportation and transfer of civilians; the unlawful shelling of civilians; the unlawful appropriation and plunder of real and personal property; the destruction of homes and businesses; and the destruction of places of worship.

I question the mothers. If I were a parent I would rather die of starvation and loss of limbs to feed my children than eat them.
People think nurturing offspring is automatic. Its not.
Animal studies of animals not raised in social groups proves that.
There's also a tribe (I think in Africa) where food is so scarce - - children are turned out at 3 years old to fend for themselves.
What pisses me off are stories like this. All those people who want Bush arrested for war crimes, for the destruction of the US and UK, hatred of the west, all those who claim the moral high ground, yet remain silent on issues like this. Sometimes, I think it should come down to this -

However I doubt every Bosnian Muslim was guilty of this even though it was them later who were the victims of an ethnic Cleansing campaign. However this event just like most other events resulted in bad people doing bad things on both sides..

They didn't need our help after all.. They had it handled all on their own...
Nothing to see there right? No Civil rights violations there eh?
And what of those refugees.. Just let them rot eh?
Now I can't say we did everything right.. I know we didn't.. but at least we did something about it...
And at least we gave sanctuary to Bosnian refugees unlike Canada with Jewish refugees during WW2.. oh yeah I went there!
