    Default Milosevic dies

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4796470.stm
    Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has died in the detention centre at The Hague tribunal.
    Do you think this is the best conclusion to the embarrassing trial in the Hague, or merely means justice won't ever be served?

    Me, I'm leading towards a "and good riddance" line of thought. Still, I'm not certain if this might form some kind of closure of the Balkans issue or if it simply means no-one will ever be held responsible.

    Won't miss him, however it is a shame that he never was convicted and punished for his crimes.

    To play devils advocate for a second....If he requested medical treatment and was refused...are the UN now an acomplice to murder?

    Can the UN put itself on trial?

    Maybe. But, in the short run, having an as-yet-unconvicted defendent die in your custody is never a good thing. They denied a medical trip? Not good.
