This scum needs to pay for those war crimes. You can't hide forever. - toetagger, on 07/21/2008, -2/+8Bush/Cheney should be next.
- domr, on 07/21/2008, -1/+5I don't get it. Where is the nationalism in Zaggy111's comment?
The fact is that the general consensus *is* that the Serbian government made the arrest so it can help clear the way to join the EU. - Gsicht, on 07/22/2008, -2/+6I cant believe this isn't getting more attention!
This man has committed the worst war crimes in Europe since WW2. - bacon_skoda, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5this is digg. linux, apple, obama/ron paul, anti bush. that's it.
- skydharma, on 07/22/2008, -3/+6A win for the world.
- arTech, on 07/21/2008, -3/+5Serbs always turn their back on their leader. Just look at their history.
This is great news. One more to go (Ratko Mladic) - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -1/+3bacon_skoda you are totally right.
Shame on the ones not reading or digging it! - thiver, on 07/22/2008, -2/+4Perfect, mass murderers deserve trials and punishments. And you can only imagine punishment neocon fascist regime of Bush deserves for indirect responsibility for death of over 1 million innocent Iraqi civilians. World will not be sane place until Bush and his war crimes regime friends are in Haag playing cards with Karadzic and Mladic.
- arTech, on 07/22/2008, -3/+4Go away
- IceGlass, on 07/22/2008, -2/+3It's a good news for world and justice.
- arTech, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Idiot
- SliWoady, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2"The Hero of the Balkans"? Are you an idiot? He was the Butcher of the Balkans, you and him are nothing more than Serbian nationalists. He was personally responsible for expelling Bosnia's Muslim and Croat population from the Serb-held territories in an orchestrated program of ethnic cleansing, killing 230,000 and displacing three million, not to mention scarring an entire generation of Europeans of genocide in the process.
- SliWoady, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1BS, the first thing that happened after Bosnia gained independence, was the Karadordevo agreement where Serbia and Croatia wanted redistribute Bosnia between them. Milosevic targeted Bosnian Muslims because they were the only ethnic group loyal to the Bosnian government, and were an easy target, because the Bosnian government forces were poorly equipped and unprepared for the war. As for WWII blame al-husayni for spreading propaganda in order to get Muslims to volunteer. Don’t forget about the Croat Ustashe party (which included Christians) which was just as guilty as the Nazi's when it came to exterminating Jews and Serbs. This does not make it acceptable for Serbs round up random innocent Bosnian Muslims into concentration camps for "cleansing" 50 years later. All Milosevic did, was destroy everything that Tito worked for.
- jwolcott, on 07/22/2008, -3/+2Let us not forget that the exact same atrocities - rape, torture, executions and ethnic-cleansing - were perpetrated by all sides of this conflict - Croatian, Bosniak, and Serbian. The Serbian atrocities were of a larger magnitude only because their army was more powerful.
This war brought out the worst in human nature since WW2. - BabyWookie, on 07/23/2008, -2/+1The first things that the Bosnian Muslims did after gaining their independence, is to burn down Orthodox temples, round up, torture and behead Slavic men, rape their women and children and sell them into medieval harems. The notorious depravity and barbarity of Balkan Muslims knows no bounds. They have a savage, Dark Ages mentality and were more than happy to do Hitler's bidding during WW2, rounding up Jews and Slavs for extermination camps. People like that do not belong in Europe. The Serbs and the numerous Slavic/Orthodox volunteers were just doing their best to take out the trash. They did get carried away at times, but they were only reacting to the nature of their enemy.
- BabyWookie, on 07/23/2008, -2/+1I'm not Serbian, scumbag. The Balkan Muslims, through their sheer ignorance, hate and barbarity, were the ones who started that whole mess and in the end, they got what was coming to them. If you don't realize that, you are either one of them or just another ignorant, brainwashed Westerner. Slobodan Milosevic was the one who stopped the war and made peace in the Balkans, but he did not bow down to the West, paying the ultimate price for it.
- Rotzooi, on 07/22/2008, -2/+1That only means it's time for some good old American Justice.
- ManaSmoker, on 07/22/2008, -4/+3As Sarajevo and the world celebrate, as another 'evil evil Serb' is brought to justice, with every news channel out there reporting on this, let's take time to look at the completely ignored facts that Bosnian Army general Naser Oric, a war criminal responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Serbs around the Srebrenica enclave, was just acquitted of all charges a couple of weeks ago. Also Ramush Haradinaj, Kosovo ex-prime minister and war criminal responsible for the extermination of Serbs in southern kosovo in the 90's has been acquitted as well, after numerous witnesses were threatened against testifying. It's a show of international justice at it's finest!!
- daonlyfreez, on 07/22/2008, -3/+2To all those Diggers that keep repeating:
"Put Bush/Cheney on trial at the International Criminal Court"
Somehow most don't seem to know that it will never happen, because the U.S. does not acknowledge/cooperate with the ICC.
Read this for the details:
http://www.hrw.org/campaigns/icc/us.htm
"First, the Bush administration negotiated a Security Council resolution to provide an exemption for U.S. personnel operating in U.N. peacekeeping operations. The administration failed in May to obtain an exemption for peacekeepers in East Timor. In June the Bush administration vetoed an extension of the UN peacekeeping mission for Bosnia-Herzegovina unless the Security Council granted a complete exemption. Ultimately, the U.S. failed in its bid for an iron-clad exemption, although the Security Council approved a limited, one year exemption for U.S. personnel participating in UN peacekeeping missions or UN authorized operations. The Security Council has expressed its intention to renew this exemption on 30 June next year.
Second, the Bush administration is requesting states around the world to approve bilateral agreements requiring them not to surrender American nationals to the ICC. The goal of these agreements ("impunity agreements" or so-called "Article 98 agreements") is to exempt U.S. nationals from ICC jurisdiction. They also lead to a two-tiered rule of law for the most serious international crimes: one that applies to U.S. nationals; another that applies to the rest of the world's citizens. Human Rights Watch urges states not to sign impunity agreements with the United States.
Thirdly, the U.S Congress has assisted the Bush administration's effort to obtain bilateral impunity agreements. The Congress passed the American Servicemembers' Protection Act (ASPA), which was signed into law by President Bush on 3 August. The major anti-ICC provisions in ASPA are:
* a prohibition on U.S. cooperation with the ICC;
* an "invasion of the Hague" provision: authorizing the President to "use all means necessary and appropriate" to free U.S. personnel (and certain allied personnel) detained or imprisoned by the ICC;
* punishment for States that join the ICC treaty: refusing military aid to States' Parties to the treaty (except major U.S. allies);
* a prohibition on U.S. participation in peacekeeping activities unless immunity from the ICC is guaranteed for U.S. personnel.
However, all of these provisions are off-set by waiver provisions that allow the president to override the effects of ASPA when "in the national interest". The waiver provisions effectively render ASPA meaningless." - Zaggy111, on 07/21/2008, -7/+6The Serbian government arrested him just because Serbia wants to join the EU, simple politics, nothing more.
- dickeywayne, on 07/22/2008, -3/+2Great news!!!!
Too bad "Death By Waterboarding" is not an option! - maxplace207, on 07/22/2008, -4/+2Cogratulations Serbia!!!
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -6/+3This is sad news. Radovan Karadzic is a hero. We should make him the leader of an army to fight the evil that is Islam.
- BabyWookie, on 07/23/2008, -4/+1Disgusting! Just like Slobodan "The Hero of the Balkans" Milosevic, who was cowardly murdered by his Western captors, this brave, brilliant man is a true hero to many true Orthodox Slavic patriots such as myself. He should be praised and not arrested. It makes me sick that the current Serbian government has betrayed their people and sold him out to the West, in exchange for the possibility of an EU membership. Dirty Western whores! All this man ever did, is his best to protect his beloved Serbian nation from the human scum of Europe.
- Angostura, on 07/21/2008, -5/+2Who says the EU never achieves anything.
- fartboy, on 07/21/2008, -5/+2zaggy111 sucks
