In Bosnia, a war was fought between civic nationalism and individual liberty versus ethnic nationalism and collectivism. Bosnia's struggle was, and is, America's struggle.
Dedicated to the struggle of all of Bosnia's peoples--Bosniak, Croat, Serb, and others--to find a common heritage and a common identity.

Serbia Arrests Ratko Mladic
I was getting ready to post another story, when I saw that this news story had broke:
Agreed. I assume that all along, the Serbian government has been making political calculations, and have finally decided that the domestic cost of turning him in is less than the international cost of continuing to look the other way.
Mladic's arrest is a strong blow against impunity. May he have a long and healthy life, so he can spend the rest of his life in jail and die as a genocide convict.

I am glad he was arrested. Yes it was a way too long time coming.
