Statement: Death of Slobodan Milosevic

I am grateful that the United States led a coalition that stopped Slobodan Milosevic's campaign of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo. Milosevic's brutal policies are responsible for the deaths of countless thousands, millions of refugees, and ethnic conflicts which continue to fester. I am sorry that his trial will not be completed, and that he did not acknowledge and apologize for his crimes before his death. Nevertheless, his capture and trial will serve as a reminder that egregious crimes against humanity will not be tolerated.
