...Serbia apologized for its role in the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. While the measure expressed sympathy for the victims of Europe's worst atrocity since 1945, it stopped short of using the word genocide. Serbia, which has applied for E.U. membership, must capture General Ratko Mladic, leader of the Bosnian Serb forces that committed the massacre, and send him to a war-crimes tribunal before its application will be considered...

While most U.S. troops arrive in Afghanistan via Manas, only about 20% of their cargo does; roughly half travels overland through Pakistan, and the rest arrives from the north via rail and truck lines, largely through Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. If the U.S. were to lose Manas, U.S. officials would likely seek a replacement base in the vicinity and explore options in Azerbaijan, Georgia or Uzbekistan. But U.S. officials believe that Kyrgyzstan...
