THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Feb. 9, 19‘ War 1n Bosnia rapidly becoming a global tragedy he sounds of outrage over T the slaughter this weekend in Bosnia are feeble at best. More than 10,000 people have been killed in Sarajevo in 22 months of war; 1,551 of them chil- dren. In the latest â€" and most devas- tating massacre â€" 68 people were killed and more than 200 were injured in the bloodiest single attack on Sarajevo’s civilians. And yet...all we can feel is out- rage. U. S. president, Bill Clinton, says they rule out nothing; Canada sends senior officers over; the UN. calls the massacre “heinous” - the world is firm in its outrage and condemna- tion. How to erase the visions of muti- lated people and blood everywhere in the popular marketplace, where just minutes before, people were bartering and trading at lunchtime? It is made all the more appalling by the fact that the mortar bomb landed at the time when it is most crowded with shoppers. One of the most telling remarks was the one reprinted in the New York Times of a young doctor read- 1 -800-668-5151 TOLL FREE Teens stole cash and cigarettes Three teens after cash and cigarettes held up an Oakville Mac’s Milk two weeks ago, and investigators need the public’s help to identify those involved. It was 2:15 am, on Wed., Jan. 26th, when the young men wearing black ski masks burst into the store at 111 Maurice Dr. One was armed with a black revolver, and another carried a baseball bat. The store clerk wisely stepped aside as one bandit went behind the counter, and took cash from the till along with several packs of cigarettes. One suspect was 5’10” tall. The other two were shorter. All were described as white, and wore dark sweaters, jeans, and black gloves. They ran to a light colored car that was last seen heading north on Garden Dr. ' Crime Stoppers would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a thought concerning the identity of these people.

How to imagine the horror in the shelled-out city of the bloodstained market stalls, the cries of anguish, and the agony of the wounded? 7 Why must we always express outrage and nothing else when something like this happens? Bosnia is, once again, One of those things that creates a momentary unease only to find itself buried on page 18 in another day or two. It is only when people are blown up in such a callous, horrific way, that notice is taken. . It is only then that we truly see the people behind the numbers. And if this war is ever to be stopped, the it... 0 1993 FoxVideo Inc. All Rights Reserved. c 1993 by Paramount Pictures.

In Ottawa, 3 foreign affairs offi- cial says all they can do is condemn the violence. So what good does that do? ' Two weeks ago, writer Martin Woolacott was almost prescient as he analysed things in Bosnia in the Weekly Manchester Guardian. “The bankruptcy ‘of western poli- cy in Yugoslavia is now so total that panic is setting in,” he said, noting how the western countries are fly- ing kites about military withdrawal. “...The result is a frantic whirl of efforts to shift the blame from one set of shoulders to another, from Europe tovthe U.S., from both to the U.N., from the UN. to NAT ...” Meanwhile, the people who live the daily agony of a war continue to feel as though they are on borrowed time. And they obviously can’t expect much help from the people who are busily wondering who to blame next, rather than working to stop the insanity. HOURS: Sun to Thurs 10am ‘to midnight Fri to Sat 10am to 2am Saturday night, I watched an old film...A Night to Remember â€" thinking it would be a schlocky kind of flick along the lines of the Poseidon Adventure. Instead, it was a rivetting account of real cow- ardice and heroism in the face of an appalling tragedy. In ‘A Night to Remember’, the Titanic sinks with more than 1,500 lost, while a boat sits just 10 miles away, doing nothing. The crew on that boat watches as it begins to list and, as the tension escalates, they speak idly of other matters. They wonder aloud what happened to the large ship that was on the horizon They watched, doing nothing, the Titanic in desperation threw flares and sent SOS s.. .all to avail. They sat; people died. In this latest slaughter 1n Bosni I am uncomfortably aware of fed ing very much like that boat. ‘ » 0 TE our OF COFFEE Oakville onl’" coffee roasting house.
