Windsor 2,233 Posted March 13, 2006 His wife wants to bury him in Belgrade. Only problem is that there are arrest warrants for most of the Milosevic family. So it could be a very interesting funeral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted March 13, 2006 So just mostly our fault then. [snip] I'm happy to be corrected on this if I'm wrong, however. I may be a bit out of my depth on this one. ps. you're generalizing when you say "Our fault" typical american (98%) has no idea what goes on outside the box, its the 2% that run the show. Inside and outside the box. So before you go and start feeling guilty, don't! Its not your fault Erm, possible misunderstanding here, I wasn't taking the blame or feeling particularly guilty on a personal level. And I'm not American. But thank you anyway. The 'mostly our fault' referred to you graciously accepting that some of the people involved in leading the balkans to war were to blame (a bit), but mostly it was the West supplying weapons and interfering that created ethnic tensions, and then a war out of nothing in particular. So, me saying 'mostly our fault then' was meant to be an interpretation of your opinion, not mine. Hope that clears things up, but my track record on clarification of my own posts is pretty poor... no more than a 10% success rate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G. Love 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Murder. Pure and simple. He was given drugs to counter-act his heart medicines. A Serb friend told me... He was owning their asses in that trial. For those who didn't follow the trial, as it wasn't shown anywhere on the news dispite being so huge, because he emberassed the prosecution, He defended himself, considering he had a lawyer's degree, and he made the prosecution look absolutely stupid. He was supposed to launch his defense in a couple of weeks, and was calling his own witnesses, one of which died in the cell too, only a week ago. That man (Milan Babic) also "died", and it was proclaimed as a suicide, despite the news first saying he died of "natural" causes. I F*****g hated Milosevic, and wanted him dead, but not before he was proven guilty. I find it pretty weird that he is the fifth man who died in that same jail, which was supposed to keep political prisoners, usually those kinds of jails are supposed to be on a higher lifestyle level than the regular prison. His main witness, Seselj, has also been complaining about the air in the cell, and wanted to have a doctor of his own choosing do the tests on his blood, a request that was denied. I'm a bit pissed, cause he announced he would call up witnesses like Clinton, Rubin, Cook, Blair etc, and would cross examine them for their part in the unlawful bomibings by NATO that took place on 1999. I wanted to see this, because at that time i was in one of the cities that was bombed for 70 days straight every night. I think this is all bullshit and hope somebody will have the balls to step up against it, because fathers of democracy are probably turning in their graves looking at it. Chances are it'll get swept under the rag instead, and forgotten in the history. This isn't a Princess Diana conspiracy, followed only by Daily Telegraph readers (ever noticed they have a Diana story every Monday on their front page? Most curious). This is for real, ladies and gents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harvester Of Souls 40 Posted March 13, 2006 Having seen excerpts from the trial sent over by a friend I can only concur with G. Love. What was down as a whitewash has been very embarssingly swept under the carpet as Milosevic showed time and time again that he wasn't simply an Eastern Bloc boot boy. The man regularly showed the prosecution up to be inept and was a very skilled debater. Love or hate the man he more slippery that the Bliar... It would have been very interesting to see some of the current war criminals called in to the trial. I don't really do conspiracy theories though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 13, 2006 I suppose whether it was natural, accidental, murder or suicide, it doesn't really matter. He died long before I, and perhaps many expected him to, but he certainly wasn't all that great of a person. Though I'm actually undecided on the circumstances surrounding his death, I think I can safely say we'll all be glad not to have another Pinochet on our hands...

It would have been very interesting to see some of the current war criminals called in to the trial. I don't really do conspiracy theories though... The fact that he was a skilled debater does not immunize you from prosecution as a war criminal. Hitler was pretty good at the mass hypnotisation as well. I wish I could whip up the enthusiasm do get people to do things for me without much thought to right and wrong. Basic facts are that it was a religious (Halibut/Orthodox Christian) ding dong, where both sides were as bad as each other. If the conspiracy theorists are correct, I’m surprised old Saddam has lasted so long. Our “Land of the Free” cousins wouldn’t think twice about slipping him a little something stronger than an aspirin….. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was Robin Cook he was planning to call, serving the witness summons might have proved a bit tricky. But I suppose he could be forgiven for being out of touch with the news.
