EU force kills wanted Serb's wife

[Briar]

1. Their son

"Their son Dragoljub, 12, was also injured during the shootout, which began after the peacekeepers opened fire on the fugitive."

Peacekeepers, eh?

2. True peacekeepers ....

...would wait a solid quarter-century before trying to bring in a wanted war criminal, instead of a mere 10 years.

The dude knew he was wanted, was putting his family at risk by hiding with them, and shot himself rather than give himself up.

3. Peace of the grave...

the only peace the firearms can bring.

4. Not necessarily.

Having armed peacekeepers in Bosnia has in fact kept the country peaceful since the late 90's. One unfortunate bad shooting, which the accused could have prevented by giving himself up, doesn't change that fact. It's not as if civilians are being killed all over the place by EU peacekeepers, and they were being killed all over the place before the peacekeepers were there.
