We are bringing you the end of the Bosnian War, as it is on paper anyways, this Christmas week. It has been just over 30 years since the treaty to end the war was signed, and life has somewhat went back to normal for many of the citizens.
But in a country that was ravaged by war for three years, that normal looks a lot different than it did in pre war Bosnia. Neighborhoods and parks are littered with headstones for the thousands lost. Building still hold the bullet holes from gunfire, and Sarajevo Roses can be seen all over the sidewalks, a reminder of numerous lives lost in that spot.
A lesson we can all take from this war is to be careful of nationalist who want a ethnically pure state. That leads to ethnic cleansing, rape and the destruction of an entire culture. We can not let this happened within our own countries.
