Sure Mladic is an issue, but why is he so important? The war ended 15 years ago. It seems to me there are more important people that HRW could be going after. Tony Blair and George W. Bush killed several times as many civilians in Iraq than Karadzic and Mladic ever dreamed of killing in Bosnia. Why isn't HRW going after those two?
The total number of Muslim and Croatian civilians to die during the Bosnian war has been estimated at 38,000 by demographic experts working in the OTP at the Hague Tribunal, and 35,233 according to the Sarajevo-based Research and Documentation Center. And you can't even pin all of that on Mladic because the Croats and Muslims fought eachother in places like Mostar, and the Muslims even fought among themselves around Bihac where Abdic was based.
I'm an American, and drunk drivers kill more people every year in the U.S. than the total number of Muslim and Croat civilians who died in the Bosnian war. For that matter, the flu kills more people every year in America than the total number of Muslim and Croat civilians who died in the Bosnian war. The average attendance at any given Dallas Cowboys football game is more than double the number of Croat and Muslim civilians who died in the Bosnian war.
I know people like to use the same rhetoric to describe the Bosnian war that gets used to describe the Holocaust, but it's nonsense. There was no genocide in Bosnia.
