Rape camps: Yes - Do some research
by Rick Grams

The wars in Yugoslavia were a terrible and ugly example of humanity.  I remember feeling how ashamed humanity should have been to sit by and watch those events unfold, and once again only America really wanted to take a stand.

If I remember right, then President Bill Clinton used up some serious political capital making that stand.  NATO relations were stressed, Russia was warning the U.S., and the rest of the world just watched.

As far as rape camps, all a person needs to do is a little research.  Please review the following United Nations' web pages:

http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/50/a50r192.htm (1995)

http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/48/a48r143.htm (1993)

There are plenty more around the web. It only takes a few minutes to verify and some common sense.
