The world is a slightly better place today than yesterday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7518543.stm)

I was glad to hear this news this morning on SKY, but what will concern me now is the luxury life he will lead in prison, I for one wouldlike to see a bit more suffering to people like him!!

Would you like a large spoon with that sir? :greengrin

While there is no doubt a lot of support for Karadzic in that part of the world, I'm not sure that overseeing the cold blooded murder of many thousands of people exempts you from war crimes..........

I'm not sure that overseeing the cold blooded murder of many thousands of people exempts you from war crimes..........I'm sure the Iraqis would agree, Bush and Blair should be hauled up as well. :agree:

You'd have no arguments from me on that score.

Not even if you changed the word "hauled" to the word "strung".

Try Karadzic, then hand him over to the Bosnian Muslims for safe keeping. I'm sure they'll be happy to tidy up any loose ends.

It's only right that he should serve his sentence in the country where he committed his crimes. :devil:

Just thought I'd get that in before the usual mob :greengrin

After all Che, Fidel, Gerry, Martin, Nelson, Adolf, Sadam, Osmana, Robert, and all their chums are really cuddly people at heart :duck:

Some classic reports on the various news channels regarding this. I especially like some of the quotes from the Bosnians and this taken from the BBC report:

Despite heavy rain, some young men dropped to their knees, slammed their hands against the ground and chanted "This is Bosnia!", correspondents reported.

He will, I am sure, be extradited to The Hague, to stand trial. Don't think it'll be anything like Pablo Escobar.

Interesting to hear he was working as a doctor in Belgrade, and using public transport. Just a coincidence that Serbia is desperate to join the EU? Bet its not too long till Mladic is caught! :agree:

I know that one charge laid against the Nuremberg Tribunal at the end of WW2 was that Stalin and the Soviets wre as bad as the Nazis who were tried and hanged.

IMO this isn't a reason not to hang people like Goering and Hoess and Rosenberg; they got exactly what they deserved. My only regret is that others like Hitler himself, Goebbels and Himmler escaped humiliation bu committing suicide.

Bush and Blair are guilty of inciting an illegal war, IMO, and should be placed on trial. That Bush poses as a 'born-again' Christian and Blair as the Catholic Church's new-born blue-eyed boy giving lectures on spirituality and religion makes me want to vomit.

Karadzic is the guy whose writings gave a sort of veneer of respectability to Serbian racist genocide. Rosenberg to Milosevic's Hitler, and Mladic's Himmler, if you like.

He's ****, as are the people who have known about him, and covered for him, all these years. They should drop him off for half-an-hour in Gorazde on his way to court. Give him some quality time with some of the survivors.

:agree:

But of course they haven't attacked Christian countries so in effect it was just a modern day crusade! :wink:

That's certainly the impression Bush gave to many people in the USA to get nutters like the fundamentalist far-Right onside. Christian civilisation under attack from the infidels.

I've heard that as soon as the Yanquis were established in Baghdad a number of such organisations sent 'missionaries' (I'm using the term loosely) out to Iraq to 'convert' the Muslim population, totally unaware of the fact that the Christian church in Iraq has been around at least a thousand years longer than the good ol' US of A has.

Now, thanks to Bush and Blair, those Iraqi Christians are the targets of Islamic fundamentalist gunmen and are being forced to leave the country for Jordan.

Oddly enough, Muslims and Christians lived more or less at peace with one another under Saddam.

It's a funny old world. :dunno:

Indee Tariq Aziz, Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq under Sadam was a "Christian"

Aye, well..... :dunno:

That one would make a matching set with Blair and Bush, I think.

Not exactly in the Mother Teresa class, methinks. :cool2:

And in Iran the "home of radical islam" you can pop up to the Armenian quarter in Tehran and have a few pints. As the locals tolerate alcohol if it is in a christian area,

Hey, Taz! Nice to hear from you.

Next time we're both in Tehran we'll go for a pint together? I'm buying. :thumbsup:

The bit in bold absolutely spot on. Putrid so it is.
