The exploits of SFOR

according to the articles you posted, they actually seem to make quite a
good job harvesting weapons...

oh, you'd like to see them going after muslims rather than serbs etc?
well, sorry to tell you that serbs and croats arent going to get a
special treatment... the SFOR will continue and no matter who hides
weapons: they'll do all to find em.

and that wont change just cos you try to make the NATO focus on muslims
only cos of someone's (racist's ?) opinion... they'll just continue, no
matter what your belief or the color of your skin is - you'll just be
treated equally. the earlier you learn such basic principles of a
constitutional state, the better.

*Some of you may know of my "warm feelings" for SFOR (NOT!). For one thing,
much of what SFOR does is a waste of time and often aimed in the wrong
direction. Rather than harass the potential Muslim terrorists in Bosnia,
they would rather harass the Serbs, Croats and non-Muslims.
I have not yet finished faxing and mailing letters to NATO in Brussels
regarding SFOR's pointless and ridiculous activities. . .
