A lot of times when we work overseas we tend to put the experience of someone who lives overseas, a Chinese person or a Korean person or a Bosnian person, within the prism of an American life.
I had my life threatened by Bosnian Serbs on numerous occasions.
For me the much more significant question is what did the Americans do, if anything, to help the Croatian army, because they are the ones that changed fundamentally the map of Bosnia, not the Bosnian army.
The one indication that I got that I was doing the right job in Bosnia was that at different periods of time all the factions came down very hard on me.
I went back to the States and started at a small newspaper in Riverside County, California, covering the police; I was making $280 a week covering the police.
Srebrenica was a horrendous war crime and it had to be uncovered.
