"Mr Babic, this chamber finds you guilty on count one of the indictment issued on the sixth of November, 2003: persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds, a crime against humanity," judge Alphons Orie said.

So he "persecuted" then, he didn't kill them and place them in mass graves? There aren't 100,000 bodies in mass graves, as Clinton used for justification to bomb Serbia? Does that mean that Serbia wasn't an 'immediate threat' to US security, AND there was no UN resolution? If so, why did Weasly Clark prosecute the war? Oh, so many questions, now my head hurts.

I'm sure the NY Times will be all over the fact that "Clinton Lied," after all the attention they've paid to the previous times. /sarcasm

Um, the Hague charges against Babic had nothing to do with the NATO becoming the KLA/UCK Air Force. The deal he made with Hague prosecutors... maybe. The charges against Babic were strictly concerning Croatia.

Babic is a nasty little thug who's sold his soul so many times over he's lost count. In the end, he sold out and abandoned his own people (the Krajina Serbs). He was really, really nasty to the remaining Croat minority within RSK during his brief reign (late 1991- early part of 1992) and it probably wouldn't be hard to prove he was ultimately responsible for the murders of a hundred or so Croats. Or maybe it is hard to prove because the prosecution decided to drop those those charges. I think they charges were dropped because of the "deal" rather than lack of evidence, though. Not sure.

Eleven lousy years from the Kanga Kourt in exchange for "testimony" against Slobo (in case anyone would believe anything the lying weasel says). Personally, I'd rather have seen him (along with Martic) tried by a jury consisting of Krajina Croats and Serbs.

News articles keep describing him as "an ally of Milosevic" but, as best I can recall, he was generally on the outs with Slobo. Didn't Slobo insist the RSK leadership can him in '92, or do I not remember right? Then there was the power struggle with Mikelic toward the end, with Babic winding up as PM after all at the very end in '95. The Milosevic/Mikelic/Babic thing was convoluted. Vooch, kosta...can one of you guys help me out here?
