Bosnians pass a television screen in Sarajevo carrying a live broadcast of Ratko Mladic’s trial.

At the start of his war crimes trial Wednesday, former Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic was accused of setting out to “ethnically cleanse” Bosnia during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war and of presiding over the deaths of tens of thousands of people.  —ARK

BBC:

Gen Mladic faces 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide, in connection with the brutal 1992-95 Bosnian war.

Prosecutors in The Hague said they would show his hand in the crimes.

He has called the accusations “monstrous” and the court has entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

In a crazy sort of way, even mass murderers turn out later to have done good for the world.  They (sometimes) get arrested and tried for “genocide” and judged guilty at The Hague. More often, not. Now it’s Mladic. Funny thing, though, is that “ethnic cleansing” is clearly culpable as “genocide” but the bombing of children in Afghanistan or the starving of children in Ethiopia does not qualify as “genocide.” Isn’t that strange?
  Even so, it all works in either case toward a gradual but universal awakening of souls.  Slowly but surely almost all of us know by now what’s what.  The sheets covering the corpses are wearing thinner by the year. The point draws ever-nearer where too much finally becomes enough already! We all look at our own hands, see blood, and awaken from the long nightmare of war.
