it is sad to see how FR devolves into fairly spiteful posts and name-calling when a thread like this is posted. Regardless of a person's views on the serbian bombing campaign, milosevik and the various atrocities committed or allegedly committed by both sides (albanian and serb), etc., it should be fairly disturbing that a political prisoner is arbitrarily denied health care by the provider of choice (russia) and when he dies a month later, no non-UN controlled autopsy will be performed, which is going to leave conspiracy theorists with some valid reasons to doubt whatever they are told.
I don't care if it is stalin himself being held, the possible murder or murder through medical negligence of prisoners due to the difficulty of a successful prosecution is not the way things need to work. I know there are folks who think it is ok, but letting an unaccountable body like the WCT get away with this only emboldens it.
I assume we will be told this was an accidental medicinal interaction that killed him.
Yeah! What you said!
He lied - and used an easily checked lie to say I said Clinton should go to the Hague. He lied, got caught in a lie and lost all credibility and limped away.
The issue (to me anyway) is the UN Court and the concepts behind it not so much sympathy for Slobo beyond the sympathy Christ teaches us we should have for all people.
This is pure conservatism as handed down by our Founding Fathers. Did not patriots John Adams and Josiah Quincy defend the Redcoats against charges from the Boston Massacre and acquitted all Redcoats but two?
Thank you. You're one of the very few voices of reason on this thread.
