What's all the fuss about?
As you can see in the photo link below, Gen. Mladic's fingerprint can surely still be found on the inner leather band of the cap of U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark, who jovially swapped headgear with Mladic before the U.S. State Department decided that the only way to eliminate the Serbs' unbeatable military protector was to brand him a "war criminal". Have a look at Clark's happy face... ah, those were the days:

As for explaining to my fellow posters here why Serbs are having so much trouble handing Mladic over to the Hague, please take your pick of the following possible reasons (don’t worry, you can't go wrong because all options in this multiple choice quiz are correct):
1. There is no legal court to which to take Gen. Mladic.
The so-called "International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia" (ICTY) is not a legal court and constitutes nothing but dressed up NATO victors' justice designed to facilitate the subjugation and long-term Western occupation of Serbia. To better understand the prevalent Serbian opposition to the ICTY, please read a devastating legal deconstruction of that "institution" here:

2. There is simply no good Western example for the Serbs to mimic.
Gen. Mladic is revered by Serbs in a way similar to the way we are told that Englishmen revered that fabled dastardly criminal, Robin Hood. Serbs therefore wonder why the English townspeople never turned over Robin Hood.
Let’s seek a better example in a more modern military context… Perhaps England could posthumously revoke the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (Britain's 4th highest order of "chivalry") awarded to Arthur "Bomber" Harris in celebration of the single greatest premeditated massacre in human history. In just 24 minutes of bombing over Dresden, Harris incinerated over a half a million people (not just men and boys) including women, babies, the aged, those in hospital and laughing children playing on the very eve of Valentine's Day 1945. For an account of that slaughter, against which even the most outlandish Srebrenica exaggerations pale in comparison, read this:

3. Serbs can't understand why -- if genocide is a crime for there is no statute of limitations -- there never been any punishment, reparations, restitution or even an apology from the Croatian state and its Bosnian Muslim collaborators for their throat-slashing slaughter of over half a million Serbs (as well as tens of thousands of Jews and Gypsies) in World War II.
Bosnian Muslim President Haris Silajdzic visited Washington recently to demand the dissolution of Bosnia's Serb-dominated region (Republika Srpska) on the grounds that it was the "product of the Srebrenica massacre". Knowing that turnabout is fair play, I asked Silajdzic at his press conference whether he would likewise demand the dissolution of today's Muslim-dominated Bosnia because its Muslim majority demographic is the direct result of the WWII Croat-Muslim genocide of Serb men, women and children, that cut the Serbs from pre-eminence to a powerless minority in their own ethnic homeland.
To put things in perspective, the number of people slaughtered by the Croats and Bosnian Muslims at Jasenovac in WWII is about 100 times larger than the highest victim estimate for Srebrenica. It is a marvel of media manipulation that everyone has heard of the alleged atrocities at Srebrenica, but few have even heard of the indisputable crimes committed against Serbs at the massive Croatian-run WWII death camp named Jasenovac (pronounced “Yasenovats”).
I guess that I can stop at just these three examples, secure in the knowledge that the fundamental legal principle of "EQUAL justice" is simply not on offer to Serbs at the Hague's ICTY, nor anywhere else. So we just keep on resisting, forever, if need be.
Best regards to all,
