We Have Two Titos!
We have two Titos!

It seems as though the only problems which agonize our president and prime minister are to have good relations with Serbia. It is not known anymore if they frequent Serbia more, or if the Serbs come to Croatia, per their invitation.
Slowly, but surely, we are merging into a new Yugoslavia. As a result, Mesić and Sanader will probably together or by taking turns, become the new Tito.
When one really thinks about it, they do not need to become Tito because they have already surpassed him.
Everything Tito did, they do, and are even more successful.
Their “brotherhood and unity,” the same as for Tito, is the same for them where Serbia is their beginning and their end.
They present themselves for Croatians the same as Tito, and worry about Croatia and Croatians the same as Tito did.
Like Tito, they do not stop filling up prisons for those who fought for a free Croatia.
The only difference is that The Hague helps execute their dirty work, with the British at the helm.
If one takes into account the number of Croatian veterans who committed suicide, than one can openly say they are creating a new Bleiburg, of which Sanader is silent about, and Mesić announces it “understandable acts of revenge.”
The media is controlled to the same degree as during the days of communism, but they have even surpassed Tito in this arena because during that time, there was no internet, and Tito would not have been able to control the internet. These two men work to control the internet.
The truth is, well for now, they have yet to operate Goli Otok (former communist prison) again, but this will happen only in a matter of time.
Mesić and Sanader are the worst evils which happened to the Croatian nation. They are even worse than Tito.
They are worse because at least Tito pronounced himself as a Communist and a Yugoslav; while these two pronounce themselves as Democrats and Croatians; while they act the same as Tito did.
For a country who sacrificed so many lives, they have made the country like a prostitute who is ready to perform any services in order to satisfy the European Union (EU).
They build good neighborly relations with Serbia on the skeletons of all those who died creating Croatia. They spit on Croatian veterans, they spit on their widows and their children. They spit on every honest Croatian who loves their country.
We did not hear one apologetic word from Tadić or Koštunica. We did not hear one letter of war damage, we did not hear even a simple “We're sorry.”
Instead, we watched how Mesić kisses them three times in Montenegro. Every so often we read how Sanader goes to Serbia and constantly listens that the war is a thing of the past and we must now turn to the future. The common Balkan future which will be a new Yugoslavia, only this time, it will be called something else.
Naturally, the war is behind us and we do not need the president and prime minister to wash our brains in order for us to understand this.
However, the suicides of Croatian veterans are not behind us, the memory of burnt villages and towns is not behind us, massacred friends and cousins are not behind us. For them this is not important; but for us, we will never forget.
Those today who are looking for their lost ones, for them the war is not a thing of the past which must be forgotten immediately. Not even the minefields which were scattered throughout our whole country by our dear neighbors are a thing of the past because every so often someone suffers from these mines; and Sanader and Mesić probably forget to ask while in Serbia where they can find the mines.
There is an old saying which goes "those who do not learn from their past are certain to repeat it."
Mesić and Sanader obviously never learned the past, probably because our history is not their history.
If they did learn anything from history, than it would be clear to them that artificial unions do not last where they are imposed on the people.
Whether these unions are called Yugoslavia or the Balkan Union, headed by Tito, or by Mesić or Sanader - there is no long-term perspective.
For how much they kiss up to Serbia, the Croatian people are not stupid and weak as they think.
We remembered fifty years under Tito, we can remember these few years under Mesić and Sanader.
When the criminality of Tito finally comes in its true place, what sort of place will Sanader and Mesić occupy in Croatian history?
