...peacekeeper were to die, it would not be for Bosnia but for peace throughout the world and America's ability to maintain it." IRVIN GASSENHEIMER JR. Montgomery, Alabama...
...CRITICAL QUESTION IS, WOULD SENDing Americans to die in Bosnia have any long-term beneficial effect on the local inhabitants or on the U.S.? If the answer is no, then why are we sending them? There is no military mission or goal to be achieved by American troops in Bosnia, just as there was no mission or goal in Vietnam.

He is a man with issues: his family splintered after his hero brother was shot down in World War II, he has run from two marriages, and the specter of sexual dysfunction plagues him. Sabbath is haphazardly confronting his past; he is putting his affairs in order...
