Thanks. What did you make of his demeanour? Not seen him speak before, so nothing to compare with.
I was trying to decide whether he should be more upbeat? Did they know all along where he was? And so on.

It's interesting to ask why Saddam Hussein denounced the American bombing of the Muslim-killing Milosevic? Why did Qaddafi do the same?

Seeing the TV coverage served to remind me, and others I expect, of just how utterly evil this man is. 8,000 in a few days. There are no words for this.
I heard that a poll found that50% of Serbians didn't want him to be sent for trial at the Hague. Do we want to welcome such a huge number of people who hold this view into the EC?
Whilst I can accept - just - that he should get a just hearing I do not understand why the Hague process takes so damn long. There is something wrong with a system that takes years to conclude that a man like this is guilty.

we will off course get the posters with ethnic serb origins posting that we "don't understand the situation and <insert usual arguments for defending brutality here>"
I have posted on here before that the sebrenica massacre was shocking shocking crime, made all the more so because it was conducted in full view of the media

It's difficult to know, isn't it? Watching it on C4 news, now. What a fûcking savage Mladic was! So calm and collected as he directed those men to their deaths: "we won't harm you".......makes me feel physically sick. I feel a little bit ashamed, too. A French general, Philippe Morillon had promised the refugees that they would be safe and a Dutch commander was to honour and make good on that promise. The UN and EU 'peacekeepers' assured the Bosnia-Herzegovinans that we were stronger than Milosevic's regime and those that trusted that pledge were put to death. On video. In plain sight. We failed them. Still, The Yanks took the lead, closed it off in the end.

He is a sadistic, evil man who used religion, hate and fear to kill people in the name of nationalism or whatever he decided to call it or hide behind!

There is no excuse or defence for killing unarmed men women and children. He knew it was wrong yet he did what he did. If he wanted to get rid then he could have evicted the Muslims, not murdered them en-masse. What he did was genocide!

The whole thing happened because of the arms embargo insisted upon by the then UK government, whats the point of parading him around now??
If there was no arms embargo maybe those unfortunate people would have been able to defend themselves.
The only reason america got involved was becuase clinton got caught putting a cigar up Monica Lewinsky's pu**y, and he decided to divert attention.
People have got such short memories, and believe everthing they see on tv without using their own judgement.

The UN UK and USA all have to hang their collective heads in shame and admit they let people down...

I've come across a few Serbs and they tend to be full of hatred against the Kosovon Albianians.
You had several empires wax and wane through the area (since the Ottoman conquest) and various ethnic groups tangling with each other as a result.

Again, I ask the question, why did Hussein and Gaddafi condemn the Americans for bombing an Orthodox Christian-Facist regime who where systematically eliminating Muslims? They were clearly farsighted.

He is a bestial sadist with no feeling for human life.
His genocide was not opposed in practical terms and the UN, including us us for that matter have a responsibility for the deaths of those poor people. Nothing was done to save them.
I don't know if the court at The Hague can use the death penalty.
