the Serbs are a predominately non-Islamic country that was engaged in a battle against the KLA, an insurgency with close links to Al Qaeda.

James, first of all, while Serbs are "non-Islamic", it is illuminating to note that their erstwhile leader--Slobodan Milosevic--was charged with more counts of war-crimes against fellow Christians than against any Muslim group. Further, in their war against the Catholic Croats, the Serbs destroyed more Christian churches than the Muslims are accused of doing in Bosnia or the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo (where the Serbs also destroyed/damaged 9 Albanian Christian Churches). The Serbs conveniently leave these facts out as they attempt to gain sympathy in the post 9-11 world by re-casting the nationalistic wars and ethnic cleansing campaigns of the 90s as some sort of defense of Christianity.

Whether someone is CHARGED with one crime or thousand crimes it does not made someone more or less guilty. And the charges in the show trial in Hague are worth as much as charges in Moscow show trials in 1930s. The main difference is that the accused in Moscow were being tortured while in Hague are being poisoned.
