     Some leaders in Southern California’s Croatian and Bosnia-Herzegovinian communities express doubt that he is the person for the job. Whatever his motives, they say, Panic will ultimately be used by Milosevic, whom they accuse of committing genocide during the battles raging in Bosnia-Herzegovina and earlier attacks in Croatia.

     What Sarajevans want above all else is to see the aggressor routed. “A necessary evil” is Bosnia-Herzegovinian Defense Minister Jerko Doko’s blunt term for the United Nations’ hard-won airlift. “I wish the airport hadn’t been opened in this way, because it has actually slowed down the liberation of Sarajevo.”

     [Agnes] Nixon, who gave the longest and most self-congratulatory acceptance speech at this year's Daytime Emmy Awards, has thrown familiar soap opera elements into this production, which also owes something to gothic novels about women who go into major swoons over swarthy fellows. This is supposed to be a story about the Irish who emigrated to America but, not very deep down, it's really just another excuse for brawling and whoopie. They might as well be Newfoundlanders or Bosnia-Herzegovinians.

     The Bosnian Serbs carried the torch for these dreams of independence. Probably the province’s most distinctive minority, they never accepted Vienna’s occupation of their country. Their resistance received a powerful boost when Serbia installed a virulently antiAustrian regime after the 1903 coup (see Chapter 24). Most Bosnia-Herzegovinians tended to share these feelings towards Vienna. Yet the alternative – life under Belgrade – hardly appealed to those who did not share an ethnic or religious kinship with Serbia.
