4. Woo, first three responses all make it about the US

And do the standard "ignore the article" bit that happens every time a news story like this appears. Stay cosmopolitan, guys.

As for the actual story? Good. I'm pleased that this guy got caught and hope they nab many of the other criminals from the region's conflicts now that the dust is mostly settling. (Still holding out for someone to arrest or kill Mladic, of course..)

until the two top criminals of the twenty first century are brought to justice.
