Milorad Ulemek, a first-time novelist, has been a great success, according to his publisher. In just two weeks, his novel about the war in Bosnia, "Iron Trench," has sold close to 70,000 copies, a record in Serbia, according to the publisher, Mihailo Vojnovic

While pleased with sales, Vojnovic, the director of M Books, concedes that the novel's success may have less do with its content than with its author's notoriety. . Milorad Ulemek is Serbia's most infamous paramilitary soldier, a man human rights groups say was responsible for some the worst atrocities in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. He is more commonly known by his nom de guerre, Legija, and is also known as Lukovic, a name he took from his former wife.

Is it any wonder they cry at us interferring with terrorism. The euros see terrorism as something to be worshipped and idolized. Unreal.
