The “Butcher Of Bosnia” has finally received his just desserts.
With all the death that this man brought only illustrates the things that coukld happen in Syria as well as Bosnia……
Thursday saw the closure of a long and drawn out story for the victims of Bosnia’s bloody civil war as the guilty verdict was finally delivered in the trial of Radovan Karadzic. The former leader of the Bosnian Serbs presided over some of the worst atrocities committed during the four years of violence that tore apart the multi-ethnic Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
“His judgement is symbolically powerful – above all for the victims of the crimes committed during the wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina and across the former Yugoslavia, but also for victims across the world,” UN Human Rights chief Zeid Raad al-Hussein said in a statement, following the conviction and announcement of a 40-year jail sentence for Karadzic for genocide and war crimes.

Time to take the TRASH out!
As always there are lessons to be learned from history….that is if one takes the time to see what is happening and why. These days….that is a tall order.
I am surprised a court was found which would convict him…. The only explanation I can find is, he wasn’t rich enough to withstand his enemies, and hadn’t enough resources left to spin his defeats…. Heads of countries seldom get convicted, unless they’re caught without their money to protect them… He must have pissed off too many of his supporters, and was abandoned to his fate…
gigoid, the dubious
As long as the bastard does the time…maybe someone will slip him a sharpened toothbrush as a welcoming present…chuq
No hurry; let him suffer a few years first… Oh, maybe a gut shot, so his last years are a misery….
Justice can be cruel, eh?

Revenge is just an ugly word for justice in my book….chuq
I think it’s a common human trait to mix the two up more than they should; we do tend to mix our desires into our actions in reality…. Personally, I have to agree, the best sort is when they are congruent….

There are plenty more of these. Must have Nazi blood.
True….if we take out just one it makes the world a little better….chuq
that coukld – could. Like the take out the trash comment. It did not need to take so long and it did not stop some Serbs from claiming foul. But good, still to be over.
I saw that they are talking about others on a list…I say go get ’em….
