#1 another mark in the "ungrateful" column?

#2 Frank, not sure -- I think in a way it's worse than that. I believe al-Qaeda had penetrated Bosnia going back to the wars there in the mid-90s, a time of much Saudi and other "charity" money flowing in, along with (IIRC) volunteers (they probably actually were, some of them anyway) from the umma -- Iran, Chechnya, Arab countries. Recall the "rendition" of some AQ suspects there a few years back -- nifty body-snatching by our side after a local official had signed off under interesting circumstances. Given the chaos and violence there for so many years, hardly surprising the insects would flock there -- but I'm not sure there's a gratitude issue (don't know, but I think AQ has had plenty of seams to work there without any popular support or knowledge).

#3 perhaps our new "Serb Christian" friends need rearming? Or at least the threat of it?
