Dear editor, Mr. Schneiderman,
RE: article: When the world confront the undead of Croatia, by Julia Gorin, of Jan 16, 2007.

This article sounds very much like a paid for Serbian propaganda. Point by point it demonizes Croatia and its people's character, without conisderation for the facts. Its bottom line conclusion is that modern democratic state of Croatia is a fascist state in the middle of Europe and all Croatians are fascists.
Show me the hate propaganda that surpasses this one?
How could such a prominent newspaper allow this unscrutinized article, full of untruths, to get published?

Modern Croatia is not a fascist state, and people in Zagreb would never allow Hitler's statue to be erected.

The biggest lie is that Croatia started the war against Serbs in 1990. " to restore Croatian to its Hitler-defined borders". Croatia only proclaimed its independence in its republic's borders defined by Tito's communist Yugoslavia. Immediately after that, Serbs living in Croatia instigated by Serbian war protagonists in Belgrade, rebelled and started the log revolution, baricading the streets of Croatia, and killing their Croatian neighbours. Then Yugo Army led by Serbian generals started the war on Croatia, fearing that cessation of the richest republic, would cut off the supplyline to Belgrade.
It was the Serbian nationalists that tried to implement a fascist state of Great Serbia comprising of Bosnia and majority of Croatian lands, with their motto: Wherever the serbian boot walks is Serbia.

Croatian generals and homeland defenders are not war criminals .

Why doesn't article deal with the real war instigators and fascists like Radovan Karadjic and gen. RAtko Mladic, who are still roaming free. Serbia has not complied by extradicting them yet. So, why does the article not deal with truths like this one? No, because the writer is obviously Serbian nationalist and hatemonger, who was given a free reign to write whatever hatred and lie she wanted to spit about Croatia and its people's character.

IN THE NAME OF ALL CROATIAN PEOPLE WHO ARE THE LOVERS OF DEMOCRACY AND DO NOT DESERVE TO BE CALLED FASCISTS, I DEMAND THAT YOU PUBLICLY RETRACT THIS ARTICLE AND APPOLOGIZE TO THEM.

Thanks you,

Miriana Rasich
