As you may know, I'm no fan of Milosevic. But I am even less a fan of the so-called international court in general.

There are three proper ways of dealing with a deposed ruler. (1), he retires to his villa, and stays out of politics. (2), if he is too much of a distraction to remain in the country, he goes into exile. Or (3), if he is a danger to the new order even in exile, you toss him in a dungeon or put him up against a wall.

I would have no problem with (4) a show trial by a fake court, were it not for the unfortunate precedent it sets for our own people. Much better would have been a show trial put on within the country, by his successors. But since they missed their chance for (3) and he probably would never agree to (1), I'm fine with him living out his days in Russia.

I agree with your post, and it would apply to Pinochet as well.

The Brits probably slow-poisoned Napoleon when he was in custody. What do you think of that straddling of the line? (In Napoleon's case, he had already escaped once.)

I'd return him to Serbia and let them put him on trial. The kangaroo court at The Hague has nothing on him. I'm sure the people of Serbia could convict Slobo of enough REAL charges to keep him locked up forever.
