Three Times Longer Than WWII

In another war where the question of how long we should stay involved is never raised another mass grave was dicovered recently and more than 100 bodies were exhumed in the Bosnian mass grave:

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Forensic experts have found 114 complete bodies and 159 body parts in a mass grave in the northern town of Brcko, a missing persons official said on Tuesday.

The victims in the Gorice mass grave are believed to be non-Serbs, mostly Bosnian Muslims, killed early in Bosnia's 1992-95 war.

The exact number will only be known after DNA analysis, Murat Hurtic of the Muslim-Croat federation's commission for missing persons said.

"We found three documents belonging to Muslims who disappeared in the spring of 1992 and this indicates that all victims may be Muslims and Croats killed in Brcko, in Luke detention camp or at other locations," Hurtic said.

About 500 non-Serbs went missing in Brcko after Serb forces captured it in May 1992 as former Yugoslavia began to fall apart in a series of wars in the 1990s. More than 400 of the Brcko missing are still unaccounted for.

Two camps guards have been sentenced to jail by the U.N. war crimes court in The Hague' and another by a Brcko court. Three paramilitaries are on trial in Brcko for random killings.

For those on the left that are crying that we have been in Iraq longer than we were involved in WWII, I wonder how long you think we should stay in Bosnia, or should have stayed in Japan, Germany, Italy, Greece and Turkey?
