Ltd. - Port Perry, Ont. Editorial Comment Flight not right for UN In newspapers and coffee shops and on radio and television, the debate over Canada's involvement in the former Yugoslavia continues daily. Canadians, justifiably proud of the accomplishments of our forces involved in United Nations peacekeeping missions around the world, are frustrated and angered at the impotence of the current force: Pinned down and held hostage, unable to fight, and humiliated daily. The simple question all debate boils down to is this: Fight, or Flight? The argument continually made is that UN forces in the troubled area are accomplishing very little, and are acting as targets and even pawns for the numerous agressors. If we can't fight back, we ought to get the hell out, the conclusion is made. Others argue the rest of the world has no business intruding in what is essentially a regional conflict anyway. The frustration is understandable. It was expressed by Port Perry's Kevin Zenglein, a member of Canada's armed forces, who was home for Christmas after serving his time in Bosnia in December last year. He spoke of the devastation brought about by the ongoing war, and the anger felt by Canadians who could observe, but not prevent, the senseless violence. The civilians caught in the middle should be the concern if the UN is to continue with its stated mandate in the region. To that end, flight would be wrong. And if flight is not to occur, swift and decisive action against the agressors ought to be pursued. Serbs and Muslims have openly laughed in the face of the UN and NATO for too long.

H = To the Editor: On Monday, July 10, my daughters and I were driving south along Regional Road Two, towards Port Perry. We were enjoying the beautiful Ontario morning, when the sudden unwelcome smell of pesticides alerted us to the slick, white truck opposite us, spurting jets of liquid pesticide onto the roadside vegetation. The truck was hurtling past houses, farms and gardens, and I remember feeling grateful at least that we were not walking or biking along the side of the road.
