Aika hyvä kirjoistus meistä "hyvistä ja oikeamielisistä" eurooppalaisista verrattuna "pahoihin amerikkalaisiin".
"The prison at Guantanamo Bay was designed to interrogate terrorists and jihadists swept up from the battlefield: the idea was to keep them as prisoners of war in a war that was undeclared, and as enemy combatants without uniforms or officers. It had a no-win mandate, and will probably close soon due to international outcries about its supposed barbarity. Yet, for all the fury about its existence, not a single detainee has died there in over four years of operation.
In contrast, the European Milosevic just dropped dead while under custody of the U.N. at the postmodern tribunal at The Hague. This follows the recent suicide of Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, likewise an inmate in a European detention center.
Few in Europe said much about the deaths of such high-profile prisoners, whose barbarity differed from that of many of the killers in Guantanamo mostly in order of magnitude. If American Rambos can keep alive Muslim jihadists, with their radically different customs, religion, languages, and diets, why cannot the more sensitive Europeans ensure that fellow Europeans don’t drop dead in their jails?
We often hear about how incompetent the Iraqis, under American tutelage, have been in trying Saddam Hussein. After all, his trial is only in its initial stages, two years after he was captured. But compared to the more illustrious court of The Hague, Saddam’s trial is racing along at a rapid clip. Before his sudden death, Milosevic had been in court for four years without a verdict. In terms of utopian international jurisprudence, the reprobate Milosevic died a free man, at his last breath still innocent until proven guilty.
The public wonders why the incompetent Americans can’t catch Osama bin Laden, or at least Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Few note that it has been over six years since the collapse of the Serbian rogue regime, and still no one seems to know where either Radovan Karadzic, or his military commander, Ratko Mladic, is hiding inside Europe — not exactly the Sunni Triangle or the borderlands of the Hindu Kush."

ylimielistä asennetta vastaan.Milosevicin ja mui-
den sotarikollisten hämärät kuolemat ovat herät-
täneet hämmästystä ja eipä taida kidutuskaan olla
poissuljettu.Ja miksi entisen Jugoslavian alueil-
la käyskentelee VAPAINA kansanmurhaan syyllisty-
neitä sotapäälliköitä ja tätä menoa on jatkunut
useiden vuosien ajan.
Mutta miksei sitten "maailmansheriffi" ole itse ottanut rosvoja kiinni ? Hehän käytännössä hoitivat myös ent. Jugoslavian pommitukset ?
Mutta Milosevicia ei pidetty sentään montaa vuotta kahleissa pienessä kopissa tropiikin auringon alla; häntä myös kuulusteltiin ja hänellä oli oikeus avustajiin, julkiseen oikeudenkäyntiin jne. Että on siinä vähän eroa sikäläisen ja huonon eurooppalaisen oikeuskäytännön kohdalla.
