Forget hope, you haven't got a chance, the NATO court will act out its will perfectly through South Korea, the UK and Trinidad & Tobago. This is nothing more than a western kangaroo court, passing rubber stamped verdicts, even the prosecution gets to speed up the case if it wants to. This 'court' needs putting in the trash, to be replaced by a proper court with non NATO controleld judges, who can bring NATO and the West before the court for their attrocities in the region. The world Public won't buy this rubbish anymore!

I would like to see, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Gates charged with war-crimes. But in these cases, the US Administration (Obama) wants to move Foward. A small list of things I consider to be crimes against humanity: Indiscriminent bombing of the Capital Cities (Baghdad and Kabul) - Heavy Civilian Population Use of Mercenaries who have immunity from criminal prosecution. Use of Depleted Uranium Ammunition Use of Torture Capture and detention of Children under the age of 16 Genocide (Mass Graves) Intentional Killing of Civilians (US Policy - 30 civilians are acceptable collateral damage if 1 high profile target is taken out) US bombed a house, suspected of having 2 men with AK-47s and killed an entire family. Covering up, or insufficient punishment for crimes against humanity perpertrated by their personell. (eg. 14yo girl raped while her family was killed, then her body set on fire) Invading a sovereign nation without valid cause and without a declaration of war. "George Bush playing golf and smiling" while thousands of people were being murdered. Allowing the execution of Taliban who surrended willing in the first days of the war. - And not holding those who committed these atrocities accountable. implies that they are accomplacies after the fact. Use of bombers to take out unconfirmed targets ( F16 - took out 30 targets which were all later confirmed to be civilians running for shelter) Use of Bait and Shoot (snipers put explosives on the roadside, and anyone who went to pick it up, was immediately executed on the spot.) Intentional destruction of Holy sites and buildings. Intentional destruction of food supplies.(US tanks fired on unarmed Sheep) (out of space) Rev12A

If Karadzic is acquitted, it will save the vengeance in times to come, for then will the people say to the Muslims in Bosnia  "For inasmuch as you sought revenge, now in our time we will neither spare you nor cease to punish you", the EU is a thing of now, the Serbs will awaken to the danger of the precedent of the Sorbs, as it is I do not even know if I am sending the defence arguments I carefully write for him based on research I compile to the right e-mail address as I am not sure if some jokers were not disturbing the line, I had thought I would solve this via some address-tracer website online, and was quite gleeful when I had finally got a card (the far-sighted one, but not at home, did not make anything available where we live, did he think I would furtively spend it all on lean ice creams for his worse moods, and nightwear for him,), but now I see most I find on the internet are for the USA, and I have spent hours sometimes on excessive occasions to the morning of next day compiling all this, it was Mr. Sladojevic who is on Facebook who gave his e-mail and later the e-mail of Mr. Petronijevic!
