Guess the tribunal doesn't need to continue anymore.

Yeah, no kidding. I would have thought that would have been open-and-shut.

Milosovic was not the true butcher in the Balkans. Tudjman was. Serbia received the short end of the stick in all regards. His trial was a sham. Blair and Clinton declared immunity so they wouldn't have to testify.

pfft. fuck em.

3/11/2006 6:57:09 PM

it was "natural causes"

So the guy had been awaiting trial since 2001 and the coast of the trial thus far was $200 million. Maybe if they would have spent less time trying to make it a show trial and gotten to business, they would have had a conviction. This is another reason to hate the UN. They try somebody with a huge amount of undeniable evidence of mass genocide for 4 to 5 YEARS and still dont have a conviction.

You say it's undeniable.

A significant number of people deny it.

WE ARE AT AN IMPASSE.

3/12/2006 1:34:27 AM

yeah, but you think they could have figured that out in 5 years

3/12/2006 1:57:04 AM

I'm not saying he didn't do it.

Because he did.

It's just that it's hard to get at the leader of a sovereign nation for doing shit inside said nation, no matter how fucked up it is. We barely even pay attention to 1/10th of the shit like this that goes on if it doesn't involve white people.

3/12/2006 2:02:28 AM

so are they still gonna try him even though he's dead?

stranger things have happened

3/12/2006 5:55:08 PM

^^that's true, to a point. genocide is over the line of things that are "a sovereign nation's business", and no, he wasn't the only monster of that situation, but that doesn't mean that i wouldn't have jumped at the chance to beat him to death with a sack full of oranges.

I also totally agree that the world (to include America) is often guilty of standing idly by while atrocities like this happen. If Canada/Spain/UK/France/etc started doing the kind of stuff that goes on in, say, the Sudan, it would be a HUGE, HUGE deal. As it stands, Natalie Holloway and Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie are in the news 1000x more than a massive atrocity going on right this minute in a hellhole province of a hellhole nation on a hellhole continent.

People seem to have this idea that the Holocaust was some kind of freak anomaly in history (at least in recent history). It's not even unusual that it happened in a first-world, major player in the "civilized" world. Hell, the 3 worst genocides/democides in the last 100 years have been in China, USSR, and Germany (respectively, under Mao, Stalin, and Hitler). Pol Pot is up there, too, but his paltry 2 million or so is not even in the same league. (with Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, the Sudanese gov't, and a few others being the big names on the next tier).

Basically, not only has the same story played out a dozen times SINCE the Holocaust, it's been done EVEN WORSE a few times, with the world saying "NEVER AGAIN" the entire time.

stuff like this is a large part of why I signed up for the USMC.




^STILL gonna try him? what do you mean...they were barely trying him when he was alive.

3/12/2006 8:59:05 PM

at least he won't be able to delay it with his constant "sicknesses" and shit

"Milosevic feared he was being poisoned: lawyer Sat Mar 11, 2006 BELGRADE (Reuters) - Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic feared he was being poisoned in his detention cell in The Hague, his lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic said on Saturday hours after the tribunal announced Milosevic's death. "Today, I have filed an official request to the tribunal to have the autopsy carried out in Moscow, having in mind his claims yesterday that he was being poisoned in the jail," Tomanovic told reporters in The Hague. Acting on a request from Milosevic, Tomanovic said he had made a request for protection for his client to the Russian embassy in The Netherlands and to the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow. "I demanded protection for Slobodan Milosevic over his claims that he was being poisoned. I still haven't received any reply and that's all I have to say at this time," the lawyer said. Milosevic conducted his own defense at the war crimes trial. Tomanovic acted as his legal representative in other matters as well as helping him prepare his defense."

Milosevic wasn't the only asshole in the region and for all I know he wasn't the worst, but he was still a horrible asshole and I'm glad he's dead.
