Corruption in office, abuse of power, among others

Unsurprisingly, F-Lib, you seem to have gotten a little absent-minded when it comes to the charges for which Milosevic is actually in jail. They are derived not from his certainly corrupt & criminal rule in Belgrade, but from the the atrocity-laden wars in which he led the Serbs against their neighbors.

And contrary to the revisionism you are peddling, Milosevic is charged with more counts against the Christian Croats than he is against either the Muslim Bosniaks or the mostly Muslim Kosovo Albanians. Here are the charges:

Croatia: 32 Counts of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, GRAVE BREACHES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS, and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR.

Kosovo: 5 Counts of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR.

Bosnia: 29 Counts of GENOCIDE, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, GRAVE BREACHES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR.

When the Muslims and Albanians guilty of equal (or worse) crimes stand beside Slobo in the dock, those charges and that court will have some legitimacy. Until then, neither do. It's a show trial attempting to justify NATO's illegal bombing of Serbia.

NATO and Hitler share the reputation of bombing Serb civilians on Orthodox Easter Sunday. You seem a little absent-minded when it comes to justice, marky.

"the the atrocity-laden wars in which he led the Serbs against their neighbors."
This is a historically inaccurate statement. Milosevic was not the leader of just the Serbs. He was the leader of the whole nation of Yugoslavia and its varied religious groups. His army responded to a secession attempt by Slovenia (urged by the Germans) and was attacked in Zagreb by Croats. Later, there were non-government affiliated Serb gangs attacking Croats, Bosnians, Kosovars, just as there were Bosnian, Croat and Kosovar gangs attacking others for their religion and territory.
Milosevich had every right to use the national army to try to keep the country together and fight external and domestic attempts to split the country.
As usual, outside nations interfered, leaving us with a situation that will again lead to war. It also leaves Europe with more of its land mass under Islamic domination.
On that last point, it serves the Germans right. The law of unintended consequences, indeed.
Actually, I'm guilty of falling into a MSM trick here, calling Albanians Kosovars, because the Kosovars were Serbs until the Albanians snuck over the border en masse and killed so many Serbs, prior to the Civil War.
