Catching Karadzic

A horrible and barbaric civil war welled up in our modern times in Bosnia. Those who rule us were shocked. The world of fur they have built for us is not supposed to feature wars, especially not in Europe. Wars belong to history, to the times before those who rule us came to power. So, in their discomfort, they ignore complex circumstances and unpalatable realities and simply seek individuals to pin it on. Karadzic is one such. Slobodan Milosofabitch was another. The philosophy is that as long as someone is to blame, we ourselves are not (and, as long as those to blame are arrested, we can earn bags of cash from the legal process for years on end).

The picture at http://www.serbianna.com/features/srebrenica/031.shtml is an unpleasant reminder that the true tale is a little more real and less straightforward.
