I've never understood what the bite of arguments like this is 
supposed to be. People *seem* to take statements like this as 
arguments that the U.S. shouldn't be dropping bombs on the Taliban. 
But the only conclusion I can draw from it is that NATO should have 
arrested (or killed) Mladic long ago...
