"How about shutting down the kangaroo tribunal in the Hague and releasing Slobodon Milosevic?"

He was not re-elected to office by his own people.
They then sent him there.
If they want him back it's up to them to do that.
The US has more important things to do than worry about an old time Commie.
His own people can't stand him,
why should we waste our time trying to get him back to a country that does not want him?

After graduating in 1964, Milosevic joined the Communist Party,
the customary avenue to power in communist Yugoslavia.
He moved steadily up the career ladder as a business administrator, eventually assuming the leadership of the state-owned gas company before being appointed director of Beobanka, one of the major state-run banks.
He also married Mirjana Markovic, a professor of Marxist sociology at the University of Belgrade, who he had met while they were both at high school.
A fanatical communist, Markovic played a major role in her husband's rise to power, always insisting that "Slobo's picture will one day hang like Tito's."

They have two children, daughter Mira and son Marko, both of whom have made fortunes on the back of their father's political career.

And his options were what,to become a Goldwater Republican? Communism was the only game in town for him,and you HAD to play that game if you wanted any work above the menial labor level. You also had to play it if you wanted a place to live,hot water,health care,etc,etc,etc.
