Remembering Kosovo
Slobodan Milosevic cheated the hangman. Dubbed 'Butcher of the Balkan', he died in his isolation cell Saturday morning (Holland time) before the war crime tribunal in Hague could pass down its verdict on him.
Milosevic was arrested in 2001 and put on trial in February 2002 on 66 counts for war crimes and genocide in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo during Yugoslavia's violent breakup in the 1990s. He was the first sitting head of state indicted for war crimes.
Incidentally, A Kadir Jasin published his third book several days ago, titled: Mencari Dugalia Huso.
For those uninformed, Dugalia Huso is the name of a small man who was a victim of the protracted war in Kosovo. Mencari Dugalia Huso, among other things, talks about the sufferings and merciless wars that destroyed much of Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzogovina.

This bastard should have been put against the wall years ago, just like Sadam.
Wasting money on a trial is useless, it serves justice but at what cost....

Great answer, C-Fu!
Everyone is entitled to due process, and justice should be served at *any* cost.

Politics is a dirty word to me. I wish politicians (like him) with Big Ideas should keep it to themselves. It is always the joe public who suffers.
I smelled a rat in the Germany's premature recognition of Slovenia and Croatia (former allies in WWII). There are no winners in any wars.
Vietnamese are debating about their Communism. A bit unsure of themselves, after so many thousands and thousands had died !!

I think it is inaccurate to say that "Slobodan Milosevic cheated the hangman". Even if Milosevic is found guilty of the many counts of war crimes that he is accused of, the most severe punishment that he can be sentenced of is life imprisonment without a chance for parole.
JEFF OOI says:... which further re-affirms that Milosevic cheated the hangman.
