INTERESTING TIMES

For those of you who understand that human suffering creates human monsters who are indifferent to suffering, this man is a prime example. He has been on trial for four years at the Hague. He stood accused of more than 60 war crimes and crimes against humanity. He is known as "the Butcher of the Balkans" and is responsible for four wars. By acting as his own lawyer he used this trial as an opportunity to speak on his political beliefs. He delayed the procedings at every opportunity, refused to enter a plea, and constantly denounced the court. In spite of his lack of cooperation, the trial proved that he was responsible for the genocide committed during the 1992-1995 Bosnia war, which the US government largely ignored while more than 200,000 people were killed. The trial was not completed when he was found dead in his cell this morning. There was no sign of suicide, and cause of death is not known. He did have dangerously high blood pressure and a heart condition based on the BP, and could have keeled over any minute from that. His lawyers say he was poisoned and want to take the body to Russia for an autopsy.
