Second installment

Why, why, these leaders of this country come to the front line and spend some time with the people who are surrering mentally, physically and financially for the past ten months? If they did perhaps they would realise why we as Croats feel so strongly about what is happening. Why, why, won't these leaders come and talk to those on the front line, hear what they think, go to the hospitals and hear what the wounded think, these are the people who matter, these are the people putting their lives at risk daily in order not to let any more of Croatia slip away into the greedy hands of Milosovic. Why, why, should we patiently watch as our towns and cities are pounded by the aggressors, why should we die while not fighting back, these are our homes, we have the right to defend them, we have the right to fight back. Why, why, come and see what we wear, what we drive, what we have to fight with,in order to stop us defending our homeland we are told that we risk going to jail, I am a lot of Croatians would be happy to spend time in jail as long as one less enemy walks on Croatian soil. Does anybody in Zagreb drive around in Ladas painted to look like camouflage vehicles, do they drive old estate cars with a red cross painted on the roof in order to ferry the injured and dying to hospital. We are told by the Government and commanders that everything that we need that is in Zagreb has been sent to us, how true is that, not very true I think. Do those in Zagreb really care about us the people on the front line or is all they care about is world opinion and how not to upset it. We need the help of the world but in Croatia and BiH the remnants of communism are being pushed to one side, hopefully to be forgotten for time eternal. If we in Croatia and BiH leave the communists win we leave them a foothold in Europe, it must not happen, Communism is dead, the power of the people lives. If you have something to say then say it, if you have something to write, write it, you are the people of a new Democratic country you have the right. Write to our president and tell him what is happening around you, teach him and his government what being on the front line is really like, tell them that you don't want to die in your sleep, you don't want to die while walking on free Croatian streets with the ones that you love, you do not want to sit by and watch what you have fought for dissappear in a cloud of dust, I know by writing the truth it risks my career in the army but I believe strongly not to just sit back and watch the things that are happening, I have grown to love you the Croats and if I can't shoot at our enemies then I must write. This is Croatia, this is a free country, I don't want to become a Serbian and neither do I want to stay communist in any way. Teach the government that there is not only democracy in this country, there is also love, this is stronger than any weapon. The love of the people for their country will conquer all, the love of the people will win the war, the love of the people will keep Croatia free.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
