Milosevic

I still mention his name most reluctantly as the monsters of history, present and past, deserve no recognition of their name because of the trauma left for generations among innumerable souls.

He tried to manipulate himself out of receiving judgment in The Hague but although he denied justice to so many his last breath was in captivity, and I guess one has to be content with that.

I am still trying to decide whether he was a psychopath or a sociopath and will have to leave that distinction to others who know the difference better than I do.

Those two Bosnian Serb henchmen of his now require urgent apprehension or their people will become even more isolated if they identify with these misguided "nationalists".

Why do such brutal leaders bring out our anger so much?
Is it because we tolerate what they stand for too much in the first place, and we did not find better ways to forestall their brutalities?
Have we not come to terms with the brutality which invades our humanity, and find ways to overcome it?
