Christmas with Karadzic

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/10589614.stm

I just read Joe Sacco's The Fixer, Soba, and Christmas with Karadzic, and now Bosnia is putting to rest a newly identified 700-ish victims of the Srebenica massacre. I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that the Serbian president is attending the mass funeral. I guess its a significant gesture of neigbourliness, but if I were any of the family members of the deceased, I would not want him there. I can't believe its fifteen years later and they're still identifying bodies. I wonder whose job that is?
