You are outright lying as several Serbs have gotten longer sentences, including life sentences of 40 yrs., 44 yrs., etc.

The U.S. killed far more Vietnam civilians than the total of the Bosnian 3-way civil war killed (including military), and no one served any time for that. The mass murderer of My Lai only received 3 years of house arrest, then was pardoned.

I stand corrected. I made a mistake and I did not lie. Still, if someone is guilty for crimes such as torture, rape, and murder, is a sentence of 40-50 years appropriate?

I bet these assinine sentences are the same for the case of Rwanda. The UN Criminal Court is a joke. Justice has been better executed at Nuremberg, Tokyo, and Iraq.

"The U.S. killed far more Vietnam civilians than the total of the Bosnian 3-way civil war killed (including military), and no one served any time for that. The mass murderer of My Lai only received 3 years of house arrest, then was pardoned."

It was not US policy to murder civillians. We did everything in our power to stop Vietnamese civillians from getting killed. No such considerations were given in Bosnia/Kosovo. That's the difference.

Don't buy the liberal line on My Lai. What actually happened is not that clear, which may help explain the sentencing. In fact, there was even a high likelihood that the three years for Calley was too much.
