Slobodan Milosevic Found Dead in Cell
AP - 1 hour, 19 minutes ago
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader, who was branded "the butcher of the Balkans" and was on trial for war crimes after orchestrating a decade of bloodshed during the breakup of his country, was found dead Saturday in his prison cell. He was 64. Milosevic, who suffered chronic heart ailments and high blood pressure, apparently died of natural causes and was found in his bed, the U.N. tribunal said, without giving an exact time of death.

I think its a shame for the Kosovars and everyone else Milosevic tormented. Because he died before getting a sentence, I wonder if they'll ever feel a sense of justice

He'll burn in hell.

He got to die a much easier death than the people buried in the fields of Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.

 

[verte76]

He did indeed die a much easier death than the people whose massacre he was directly responsible for. Bosnia and then Kosovo changed my mind about pacifism. I was a pacifist before we were dealing with Milosevic's crimes. I'm not now, sometimes we have to have war to stop fascist killers like him. Now justice will never really be served.

This is where it's comforting to understand the laws of karma.

To bad the people of Kosovo did not see real justice happen to this murderer!

yep.

Too bad...I was hoping for a trial and conviction, more closure. He was a bastard

 

[A_Wanderer]

He could have dragged the process out for years longer anyway, a true model of international justice

Well, if certain theories of the afterlife are true, then Milosevic will recieve a one way ticket to hell thanks to the blood on his hands.

 

[Halifax]

Oops, double post.

The amount of support Milosevic still has in Serbia is disturbing.

Since I believe that God has infinite compassion and love, all I can say is that I hope that Milosevic now understands how his actions have affected the world and that if there's such a thing as reincarnation that his next lifetime learns from the horrendous mistakes he made in this one.

And yet unsurprising.

 

[foray]

Is the same going to happen with Saddam, seeing how impeded and slow his trial is going?

Because most people consider him guilty of war crimes and crimes agains humanity?

Check this site it's written as An anti-war, anti-neo-conservative blog to counter the lies of those who wish to condemn us to perpertual conflict.

i've known that some people think that the wars and nato interventions in bosnia/kosovo weren't all that they appeared to be on the surface but i don't know enough about the situation. i've been meaning to read up on it for some time but have failed to get around to it. my comment was really more about how useless threads like these are.

It's called goutrage, Se7en. I think Milosevic was a ghastly criminal (obviously)... and yet I find myself leaning toward your perspective.

But we need our daily 'two minute hate' fix.

 

[vivaSA]

I'm just sorry he didn't die some 15-16 years ago, imagine how many lives would've been saved.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Yah kinda like if someone had shot Hitler in 1933, but alas, at the time people liked it. Hence why it happened.

Perhaps you should consider there are people posting on this thread who were personally affected in the worst way by this man and move along.

We're merely commenting on a guy who was guilty of truly horrific crimes against humanity. If there's anyone who *deserves* damnation, it's Milosevic.

You are Croatian-born, correct? Not trying to be nosey, just trying to clarify.

 

[anitram]

I'm Croatian born although ethnically only my paternal grandmother is a Croat. Otherwise we are ethnically Italian/German mixes, which isn't terribly uncommon there, particularly in the border regions.

What about the NATO bombings, there have been reports of civilian facilities being targetted.
