Former US President Clinton condemning the "genocidal madness" that fuelled Bosnia's 3 1/2-year war, joined thousands of survivors on September 20 at the site of the worst massacre in Europe since World War II. Clinton, on a visit to the Balkans to visit American troops serving as peacekeepers, attended the opening ceremony for a memorial to thousands of Muslims killed by Bosnian Serbs in Srebrenica. The slaughter in Srebrenica has become a symbol for the brutality of the 1992-1995 war, which pitted the country's Muslims, Serbs and Croats against each other. The war killed 260,000 and left 1.8 million people displaced. "We remember this terrible crime because we dare not forget, because we must pay tribute to the innocent lives, many of them children who were snuffed out in what must be called genocidal madness," Clinton told the gathering.
