The Europeans can't even bring their trial of a Serbian strongman to a conclusion and they have the effrontery to lecture Iraq about its non-adherence to European judicial standards. What's funny is how the American Left defends European snobbery towards those ex-colonial subjects. As Victor Davis Hanson has observed brilliantly, there's this assumption Europe can do no wrong. In truth, Europe is far more incompetent than that slander the Left has hurled without basis, against the Bush Administration.

The Europeans can't even bring their trial of a Serbian strongman to a conclusion and they have the effrontery to lecture Iraq about its non-adherence to European judicial standards. The Hague tribunal is not a European tribunal. It was set up by UN and has support of USA too. Dutch have more influence on this tribunal because it is on their soil.
The reason why the trial against Milosevic could not be brought to a proper conclusion (other than his death) was that it is impossible to prove the guilt for a genocide which did not take place.
