In 1990 General MacKenzie was appointed commander of the United Nation?s Observer mission in Central America. Two years later he was assigned to the United Nation?s Protection Force in Yugoslavia. UN General MacKenzie assumed command of Sector Sarajevo. While under the protection of General MacKenzie U.N. troops and officers in the U.N.’s zone, Hakija Turajlic, Bosnia’s Deputy Premier, was murdered by the Serbs. The commander of the U.N. force in Bosnia, General MacKenzie, consistently blamed all sides for the carnage, but never explicitly named the Serbs. However, his espoused opinions to Congress, the media and think tanks, (like Heritage) must be viewed with skepticism since he disingenuously never mentioned SerbNet, a Serbian lobbying firm, paid him.
Srebrenica and Zepa under U.N. control where each person got 530 grams of food and 3 liters of water a day to drink, cook and wash with. Medicine delivered to the Zagreb mosque for distribution had the expiration date of 1947. And, what may have been a Machiavellian twist to ethnic cleansing;
a planeload of condoms was delivered to Sarajevo at a time when there
was no bread.
After the Bosnian government instituted investigative proceedings against MacKenzie for sexually exploiting Muslim women prisoners provided by Serbian soldiers, he evoked U.N. immunity. As a result he became the only Canadian, military or civilian, to be awarded a second Meritorious Service Cross. He retired from the Canadian Forces in 1993.
Human rights monitors were premature when they stated 1992 would go down in history as the year the Muslims of Bosnia were extinguished. With apologies to Don McLean’s “American Pie” July 1993 will be “the day the music died” for the Bosnian state. We have learned two lessons from Bosnia—aggression pays and the “new world order” is pretentious nonsense. All U.N. actions in Bosnia were tantamount to complicity with Serbian goals. This cooperation was succinctly stated by the Chief Liaison Officer for U.N. refugees, Jean-Claude Concoloto: “ …the UN were not only creating refugees, but becoming a
partner in Serbia’s ethnic cleansing “
The Muslim children surviving in the twilight zone, forgotten by the rest of the world, will not forget the 250,000 dead and how those in the West watched while their fathers were wounded or killed, their mothers and sisters raped. The Trojan horse of insurrection is already being built on the very doorstep of Europe. The West should not be surprised when the next generation become terrorists. Seeded by the West’s failure, and despite the Bosnian Muslims being the most secularized in the Islamic world, the camps have become fertile grounds for Islamic fundamentalism. |
