Why insist on Mladic's arrest?

I don't think Europe should insist on arresting Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general accused of war crimes. That's hardly the side of the debate one wants to be assigned, because Mladic - described as the engineer of ethnic cleansing at Srebrenica and Sarajevo in the 1990s - should be arrested and handed over to the United Nations' war crimes tribunal. But why might it not be a good idea for Europe to insist on it?

There are good arguments for linking Serbia's entry into the European Union to Mladic's arrest, but the union isn't making them. Instead....

Why arrest Himmler?

[GSlob]

Well, he could commit harakiri, and then there'd be no need to arrest him.

[359Henrie:]Why arrest Himmler?

Himmler was killing Serbs and Gypies. Milosevic was defending them. You are on Himmler's side.

[359Henrie]

Sorry dude, a butcher is a butcher, and the 'RAT' is nothing more than a bitch who pimp his own mother.

[359Henrie]

Had no idea Milosevic was in his 80's fightin' them Nazis. Brother Titos right hand man. Thanks for the history revision update.

Ummmm...lessee....

....maybe because, like....

HE'S A PSYCHOTIC MASS-MURDERER?????????

Ceku makes him look like a piker and yet the "world community" wants to hand the murderous Ceku a piece of Serbia as a reward for his crimes?

[Alter Kaker]

Himmler was killing Serbs and Gypies. Milosevic was defending them. You are on Himmler's side.

So basically your problem with Himmler isn't that he was a mass genocidal murderer, it's that he sided with Croats against Serbs, rather than the other way around. Interesting...

Think harder.

Ah Stanisław, at least one can always count on the tired old FR genocide-caucus.

[A. Pole]

The only act approaching genocide In Yugoslavia during 1990s was the destruction of Serbian Kraina - the land inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people.

And unprejudiced traveler can see with his own eyes - which towns and villages got destroyed and depopulated (when you visit a destroyed village verify her previous ethnic status using prewar sources or your wit). Dubrovnik, Muslim parts of Sarajevo stand intact until this very day.

The anti-Serbian propaganda was the main tool used to benefit Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo and nationalist Croats in Kraina.

it has already been proven there was no genocide by the serbs, it was al qaeda backed KLA propaganda.

[Bokababe]

Obviously, you missed the point, Henry.

The guy who wrote the article was an attorney FOR the World Court. His point wasn't "Why arrest Mladic?" It was, "Why demand Mladic when you are offering the Serbs nothing? Why not offer something first so that handing over Mladic seems like the natural thing to do."

Whatever Mladic is -- which until proven otherwise should be "presumed innocent until proven guilty" -- he isn't "Himmler". That's a gross exageration of not only Mladic's potential crimes, but of his importance to history.

I am neither defending nor condemning Mladic, because I wasn't there, Henry. Were you? His guilt or innocence is for a court to decide after hearing evidence. Otherwise, this "hang em high mentality" makes us no better than the fascists we both condemn.

When you're done chewing the rug, mind telling me what General Mladic has to do with the KLA?

[x5452]

Klinton bombed Serbia on account of pleas from the Kosovo Liberation Army.

All their claims of genocide were fabricated.

[Alter Kaker]

Klinton bombed Serbia on account of pleas from the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Yes, but for reasons having nothing to do with General Mladic. Srebrenica and Sarajevo aren't anywhere near Kosovo, my Balkan-geography challenged friend.
