How coincidental that Radovan Karadzic was finally captured just as Serbia strives for ascension to the European Union. It certainly underscores the situational power of economic leverage. Still, it seems that the BBC and others had a good sense of where Karadzic had been hiding - when he was not otherwise visibly working and living among the citizenry - over these past 13 years. Yet the Serbs chose not to apprehend him, until now. Nonetheless, his capture is well worth celebrating. This man is a butcher, as was his enabler former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. So it is right and just that he now face the most severe penalties administered by the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia. It is also damn well about time!
p.s. Happy 90th Birthday, Nelson Mandela. Your goodness reminds us why evil like Karadzic must be relentlessly ostracized, vilified, pursued and put away - for good. The fact that you spent even one day in that Robben Island prison cell while this guy walked free for 13 years is an affront to humankind.
