Grbavica

Please excuse the long lapse in my blog and those of my cherished adoptees! I was very glad to see some newcomers. Thank you for your interest. Thank you Dyanna for your continued appreciation, encouragement and support. I was hoping to find a way to connect my communication on Facebook with the blog. Since the program I tried to incorporate didn't seem to do what I have in mind, I had to choose between the two forms of media... But I'm returning to the blog as the main source for the content I share on fb. It feels great to be back.

You may find me easily on fb by the way. I am the only Daniela Diana Boata. There are often interesting discussions that occur. Feel free to request me as a friend.

Grbavica is, a suburb in Sarajevo and, a movie I recently checked out from the library. I came across the CNN article below whilst doing some research on some questions that came to mind after watching it. It turns out the "Monster of Grbavica" was just found! Interesting sequence of events it was for me i.e. I see the movie, do some research, find the breaking news. Below the article you will find a quote. It is part of a comment I found in a discussion thread on the movie. What struck me was the similarity of what happened with what is happening now. I've been contributing to an ongoing discussion on the subject of Israel and its support by the United States. Many of my friends are avid Jewish supporters of Israel and the IDF. Do you see what I see?

...Milosevic's desire to remake their country as "Serboslavia" and started planning their exit. Milosevic realized he couldn't stop these republics from seceding, so he decided to make the best of a bad situation by creating a Greater Serbia with parts of Croatia and Bosnia. Much of the hysterical anti-Muslim propaganda which led to the Bosnian war was, in fact, invented in Serbia.

A rotten leader duped his people and set them on the path to war and isolation. It's happened frequently throughout history, and not just to Serbia.
