Bosnian veteran finds Iraq role
"I wrote my curriculum vitae the other day," Elvedin told me over a glass of water at my flat in Sarajevo. "From 1989 until 1992 I put 'waiting for the war to begin'. "From 1996 until 2005 I put 'waiting for the next war to begin'." A wry smile broke out across his face. This is the thinking among many Bosnians. Elvedin Kominlija, a 35-year-old Muslim, is one of a generation of people who got caught up in the Bosnian war. A decade after it ended, many still see no hope and no opportunity for the future. "I fought for this country. I gave my blood. And what do I have to show for it? Nothing." # posted by masquerader @ 11:11 ::
