Interesting they come to this realization just before Slobo was to unleash his defense - a broadside - that would have sunk the UN's kangaroo court.

Are you going to defend Saddam Hussein as well?

Milosevic is a murderer

...because the burden of doing it himself was damaging his heath.

He's got property in England?

I do have to agree, I've always had trouble with international tribunals and even "crimes against humanity" trials, I just think it is up to the reconstituted nations to try their own people much like we are going to do by letting the Iraqis try Saddam Hussein. I do think it would have been better after World War II to hold the Nazis as prisoners (again like we are doing with Saddam) and let the new German government try them once they get set up, but then again, that's water past the bridge but I think it would have been a better idea. I know there might be room to let some guilty go free but if you look at it another way, it could be a slippery slope where it can get to the point where they can yank poor Joe Schmoe from Peoria for "international crimes against the environment" if he chops down a tree or something. I think if Slobo is to be tried, let the Serbs do it. I just have trouble with the idea of international courts that can cross over boundaries.

What the hell does that mean? You think he's innocent?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

newsflash!

Milosevic is a murder, so I guess you think that Saddam is going to get "railroaded" as well?

Slobodan Milosevic is fit to continue standing trial but may not be well enough to represent himself, the war crimes tribunal in The Hague ruled yesterday.

The only chance for the Hague kangaroos is to set up a fake defence and silence Milosevic. I guess they are not above poisoning him if needed.
