Bye Bye Badman!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Not really sad either, but it's just that I would have rather seen the trial finished, at least some truth uncovered...

Normally I wouldn’t say this but we all know this trial would just be a farce.

If I may ask, apart from personal conviction, which is fine by all accounts, how do you know ?

I not judging the trail itself but only the effects it could have had.
the victimes would not be helped with the fact Milosevic would be convicted (or not) and if there would have been any other people involved I don't think they would be affected after this time.

I don't think the truth would be uncovered.....

Well, though you're not quite wrong, I think when your leader is being put behind bars by international community is an important thing in the process which brings both the victims to forgive the ones who commited the crimes and the war-criminals realising their deeds weren't the right thing to do.

We'll never see the entire truth, but I'm quite sure we'd have seen more if he got tried properly.

Z is so right.
First, many victims of Milosevic's (or any dictator's for that matter) madness are longing for justice, recognition that what was done simply isn't right.
And then the fight against impunity is also a signal sent to all political leaders worldwide, that they have to account for their decisions, especially in times of crisis. The existence of the ICC, especially, means that political and miltary leaders can't do what they want, launch wars, violate human rights on a regular basis, and get away with it.
It's not the end of the story but it's a step in the right direction.

The man has been in prison for five years. Was angry, depressed, pretty sick all the time and now he's dead.

Sounds like a conviction of another kind...

Just like the Pinochet case. He wasn't convicted, but at least we gave him a hard time. We set a precedent, so that wannabe dictators will think twice next time. Hopefully.
