Selling The Bosnian Myth To America: Buyer Beware, By Lieutenant Colonel John Sray, Foreign Military Studies Office Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, October 1995.
Popular perceptions pertaining to the Bosnian Muslim government (Bosniacs as they prefer to be called) have been forged by a prolific propaganda machine. A strange combination of three major spin doctors, including public relations (PR) firms in the employ of the Bosniacs, media pundits, and sympathetic elements of the U.S. State Department, have managed to manipulate illusions to further Muslim goals.

Labeling the Serbs As Nazis: The Role Of Ruder Finn, a U.S. Public Relations Firm
The following is an extract of an interview conducted by Mr. Jacques Merlino (Deputy Director of the network TV2, Paris, France) with James Harff (Director of Ruder Finns's Global Public affairs section), which took place in October 1993. "In Bosnia, the situation was no better: President Izetbegovic, in his book, 'The Islamic Declaration,' strongly supported the creation of a fundamentalist Islamic state [in Bosnia]. Morover, the Croatian and Bosnian past was marked by a real and cruel anti-semitism. Tens of thousands of Jews perished in Croatian camps. So there was every reason for intellectuals and Jewish organizations to be hostile towards the Croats and Bosnians. Our challenge was to reverse this attitude. And we succeeded masterfully."

Mystery of the market massacre, © The Times, 3/28/2000
A Western diplomat who was in Sarajevo at the time told me in 1999 that he was convinced the bombing was perpetrated by the Muslim-led Government. The Muslims were sure that the Serbs would be blamed and hoped that outrage at the carnage would lead to airstrikes against their foes and increase pressure for a lifting of the arms embargo that was in place against all the warring sides.

Muslims 'Slaughter Their Own People', By Leonard Doyle in New York,
© The Independent, 2/22/1992.
United Nations officials and senior Western military officers believe some of the worst recent killings in Sarajevo, including the massacre of at least 16 people in a bread queue, were carried out by the city's mainly Muslim defenders – not Serb besiegers – as a propaganda ploy to win world sympathy and military intervention.

The Truth About Gorazde, Executive Summary, By Yossef Bodansky & Vaughn S. Forrest, Task force on terrorism & unconventional warfare, House Republican Research Committee, 5/4/1994.
At the outset, the advantage went to the Bosnians who, backed by "Afghan" – mainly Arab – volunteers, were able to drive out the Christian population in what was described as an act of ethnic-cleansing." Operating in detachments of 15 to 20 highly trained and well equipped men, the Bosnian forces and their allies launched hit and run tactics that were to become the dominant feature of the early stages of the war and that often found hapless civilians trapped in the crossfire. Further, by exploiting UN relief efforts into the town, the Bosnian Muslims were able to infiltrate Gorazde, taking advantage of the fact that the Serbs were compelled to withdraw in order to make way for humanitarian operations Thus, by 1993, Gorazde was being reestablished as a military center by the Bosnian Muslims.

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.
