your point of view but ultimately it stopped the war and ended the bloodshed the question that has to be asked is whether the fault for the lack of progress and reconciliation lies with the agreement or the bosnians themselves and the answer is probably both tony. sarajevo. i. deal with ounces there are these are our top stories the 1st batch of the vaccine is being dispatched across the u.s. of x. nation of health care workers on the elderly begins on monday as as the nationwide death toll approaches 300100 has more from washington d.c. in addition to sending these to specific hospitals they're also being sent to c.v.s. and walgreens to drugstores in very pharmacists will receive the vaccine personally and in their own vehicles will take them alone within or.
