Ohhhh, I remember now. Yeah, he was a terrible dictator and less of a typical president. It just seems more like a communist state when he reigned as opposed to a republic like let's say.....oh......Vietnam? Vietnam is good now but that's because communism is over. I feel that people like the ex-president of Serbia give the other rulers in Europe a bad name. Although, his country is close to Russia and so I wouldn't expect him to behave any different. Republicans sometimes do the most awful things and if we intervene, disastrous or great consequences will happen. I don't doubt the people of Serbia would celebrate his death and I hope he won't be defended illogically. In the court of law he needs to form a solid argument to support his ideas and actions. The issue is there may not be an ethical way around it, but a legal one, yes. However, it will be tried in Europe not America. Europeans are more liberal and thus may just sentence him to life in prison. I can't remember hearing about the government of any nation executing a serial killer. The 18th century was the guillotine era and that had disastrous consequences for the moral fabric of society. It�s why people limited the use of it during the 19th century. I am not fond of contemporary dictators for they are using their wit for the wrong reasons and are not doing it well either. If a person wants to be a dictator, he has to be subtle so that way people will just accept it as part of their culture. For example, President George W. Bush Jr. made alot of bad choices with our economy and international trade relations, yet we just accepted it as part of life. This is because he did not have his soldiers rape and kill our own people. He may have the intelligence of a business mogul, but he's not oblivious to the consequences of bad actions by presidents of certain foreign countries.
