Senator Miller was one of the first US government officials to visit Croatia during the war. He brought a sizeable entourage with him. Explaining the destruction is Frane Golem, the Croatian ambassador to the US. Miller learned a lot in his short visit. We went to a hospital where two soldiers who'd had their legs blown off cheerfully told him that what they really wanted was for the US to recognize Croatia. The Croatian government officials were generally ineffective at dealing with representatives of other governments. But the average guy in the street more than made up for it. This was actually a fairly dangerous spot, by the way.
