Srebrenica war criminals

Today marks ten years since the massacre at Srebrenica. Most of the suspects are still at large. Many of the local people consider them as heroes. This illustrates the problem with forcing different people together instead of letting them have their own form of government.

If each group could have its own government, it would soon be apparent which groups cooperate and which groups do not. Cooperation leads to trade which leads to wealth. Those who distrust the west would find that no westerners wanted to invest - it is either difficult to trade with them or just bad PR. Hence the market would provide a real cash price to hiding a suspect. It would also make the suspect easier to find as they would have fewer places to hide.

So support dries up (the hero is a liability), suspects are caught (fewer places to hide), wealth increases (the value of cooperation becomes obvious), and everybody wins.
