    The runway got damaged in the 1995 during NATO attacks and was repaired quickly thereafter.

    A limited OCA strike was conducted on 21 November 1994 in response to Bosnian and/or Krajinan Serb air strikes against targets in the Bihac pocket.

    PC or ps2???

    PC if you’re referring to Undying.

    The graphics are what they are; five years old (more, actually), but that doesn’t ruin the experience in my opinion.

    Clive Barker’s Undying brings players into a world of arcane magic, supernatural abominations and ancient horror.

    Set in Ireland of the 1920’s, players take on the role of Patrick Galloway, who has been summoned to an ancestral estate by its lone descendent Jeremiah. Death has claimed his four siblings, each who have reanimated intent on slaying their living brother, the last of the family, so as to free the Curse of the Undying King.

    In order to save his friend and unravel the curse that has befallen Jeremiah’s family, Patrick must embark on five perilous quests before he can unearth the final horror of the estate.

    Each quest brings Patrick face-to-face with one of Jeremiah’s undead siblings and the strange and wicked creatures the curse has attracted. In addition, Patrick must triumph over his reviled competitor Kiesinger. If there is power to be had by unearthing the mystery of the estate then Kiesinger will try and steal it – and there is much power to be had. It’s up to Patrick to defeat each of Jeremiah’s siblings and vanquish Kiesinger in order to quell the Undying King.

    Review and screenshots, demo.

    That’s very nice, Robbo. I cannot attend the dedication either but I sure will remember him.

    If you’re looking for a good atmosphere, I would recommend Clive Barker’s Undying.

    Sad to hear.

    I must admit that I can’t remember having heard or read anything about him before, though.

    And the Chechens asked for help as did the Rwandans… (…) The fact that they chose to act outside their brief in this case when in so many others they have refused is the problem I have with them.

    I can understand your view on this, as I also find it somewhat frustrating. However, “just” because little or nothing was done in places like Rwanda and Chechnya doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t have intervened in Bosnia. I simply don’t buy this “we shouldn’t have helped anyone since we didn’t help all of them-” argument. Political and public support, interests, double standards, selective morality, convenience; the soup has many ingredients. Does it sometimes bug me? A lot. Does it mean that we should adopt a universal policy of passivity and appeasement in order to be completely “clean” and “fair” in every context? In my honest opinion: No.

    If you want a final solution then let them fight.

    So even diplomacy doesn’t mean anything to you?

    I don’t share this principle, not in this case anyway.

    You have your own opinion on this issue and I respect that. Please try to respect mine and get over it.

    Do you think if the UN went into Israel and imposed a solution there that suddenly everyone would get on and peace would be created?

    I don’t know about the UN, but I believe that the US could do a thing or two there, although it would be very hard to find a common and mutual solution which would calm the extremists on both sides.

    Like Rwanda, Chechnia, Yemen, do I need to complete the list?

    I actually agree with you on this one, so there is no need to push it.

    And how will they earn money to live if you take away the one product the west will buy from them.. not that they get much money for it.

    I hope they will be able to come up with better solutions as the process moves on.

    The main problem with Bosnia was that people from different ethnicities and religions lived scattered around the country,ie. there was no 3 specific ortodox,christian and muslim parts of the country.Each lets say village wanted to join its side but as you know you cannot form a country from many fragments scattered around and not in contact with each other. Due to this ,the hostilities started becase the Serbian wanted to protect the area’s where Serbians lived in Bosnia and Croatia and the other two sides their own.

    That is pretty much my impression as well.

    Speaking of Afganistan,i do not why NATO force dont act even if they know that 70% of worlds opium production comes from there.This opium poisons many people around the world and in EU especially.

    You are right about the production of opium in Afghanistan. The efforts to reduce this will be increased as ISAF expands further south in the country.

    Every country has problems… including NATO countries.
    What right does the UN or NATO for that matter have to go in and be judge jury and executioner in what was a problem in one former country?

    For the x’th time: The Muslim/Croat Federation asked for an intervention, and they got it. The Serb elements of the JNA took the initiative in Slovenia and Croatia, and Bosnian Serb elements did the same thing in Bosnia. You can twist it all you want; the Serbs were the prime aggressors and the UN along with NATO saw it fit to take on the BSA in order to stop the fighting. Belgrade wanted the war to come to an end (at least that’s what they said at the time), and they knew that something had to be done in order to stop the BSA. The National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska wouldn’t listen to Belgrade. Enter NATO. It worked. It was not a good solution (using force never is), but there wasn’t much else to do at the time, seeing as Belgrade failed to convince them. The fighting was ended. Lives were probably saved. The three parties got their own territories. The EU has continued the effort to get Bosnia back on its feet.

    You may think whatever you like about it.

    They only play home games, or they will tour if the US will foot the bill (which it will when oil is at stake).

    First the argument about NATO’s out-of-area operations, and now this. Gee, Garry.

    And when was the last time it was sucessful at peaceMAKING?

    You know what happened at Wright-Patterson AFB in late 1995. Better to do something than to allow the killing to resume. My experiences with you tell me that this is where we collide, and that we may never agree on it no matter how we twist and push it.

    So you think peace imposed by an outside force is a good thing?

    A hell of a lot better than to sit quietly on the fence with your eyes and ears closed, waiting for things to pass by. Again, I think this is were we definitely don’t share the same rock, and I doubt that we’ll be able to sit together in the nearest future, if ever.

    Yes… just as well the US and Britain and New Zealand are there isn’t it… I mean imagine what it must have been like under the Taliban… having to be declared insane to avoid being executed for changing religion and having to flee the country just to convert from Islam to Christian… oops, no, that is under the democratic US supported current region, yes, things have improved in leaps and bounds…

    You should confront someone who knows more than me about the recent development in Afghanistan. ISAF is expanding into more peripheral areas and will increase its efforts to stabilise the country. Just because you hear or read a bunch of bad things in the not-so-broad-minded media doesn’t mean that there isn’t any progress being made.

    Serbs were forced out from Croatia because they wanted independence — NATO plains bombed their positions during the final ethnic cleansing of Croatia.

    As far as I know, NATO wasn’t involved in what happened in Krajina during the summer of 1995. NATO aircraft only struck ground targets in Krajina on one occasion in November 1994.

    Besides, the Republic of Srpska wanted to stay part of Bosnia after the war, didn’t they?
