How about if we focus on the court itself, it's verdict, and the way ahead? I would rather not dig up the nitty gritty and tit-for-tat of the war(s), unless they are neccessary to make a relevant point.

I would hope that in time the International court can gain strength and credability to the point where the ends can no longer justify the means. If the court dies, then we are back to the victors and the powerful punishing only the losers, while they go on in impunity.

I am encouraged that these were Croats, and I am hoping that it was not just a token. It is essential that the court be able to act independantly, and not just be a tool of, oh I don't know...the US?
