Joergensen is right up to a point.  Unfortunately Izetbegovic, Tudjman and
Milosevic have been elected by their people, even re-elected after the civil
wars began.  I don't see much point in singling out individuals as "war
criminals."  As we approach the 21st century, waging war should be considered
a criminal act.  The international community condemned and imposed sanctions
on Serbia after it waged war in 1991/92.  It practiced a double standard by
not imposing sanctions on Croatia when it took up arms against the Muslims in
1993 or, for that matter, on the Muslim Bosnian government when it launched
offensive military operations breaking the truce in 1994.  Only by punishing
all the parties to this bloody conflict might the international community be
able to bring them to the insight that nothing is to be gained by military
action.
