Lest we forget as usual

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the murder of thousands of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica -- what the BBC has called "Europe's worst atrocity since World War II." Till now, the number of dead has been put at about 8000, but a new mass grave has just been found. In the meantime, the top Bosnian Serb terrorists of that period, Radovan Karadzic and General Radko Mladic, are still on the loose (even though they have been indicted for genocide.)

Those who cannot forget about celebrities and game scores long enough to remember this massacre are not likely to be very concerned about the tens of thousands of Iraqis the US war and occupation have killed.
