The Ancient City of Athens : The Parthenon

Lest we forget ..

and without the 300 at Thermopylae, there is no enduring freedom..
or culture or beauty or truth .. ..
or without Normandy June 6, 1944 ..
and freedom will never be free

In Southern Croatia, near delightful, historic Dubrovnik, a spot now so peaceful but in a region marred by Pavelic and his Ustashe pro-nazi savagery from 1941 to 1945, when Jew, Gypsy, and Serb Orthodox were massacred, and when Balkan Muslims were recruited for 2 Nazi SS Divisions - by the Palestinian Arab leader, Husseini, the UK-installed Mufti of Jerusalem, a hero of Arafat, and also fomentor [ with Saddam's uncle among others ] of the pro-nazi April 1941 **Golden Square** plot of Rashid Ali in Baghdad. This lovely region was again savaged by Milosevic and his Serb-based tribal gang from 1991 to 2001.
On both occasions, peace was eventually enforced only by superior force - deployed by the defenders of freedom. And also far too late on each occasion.
