"Prison cell death deprives the world of justice" This is the headline of an article yesterday about the death of Slobodan Milosevic, a man who aspired to be Hitler for our era. He fell pathetically short in terms of numbers, but similar in terms of ideals.
Why is the world deprived of justice? We need to declare the man be put to death to make it count? Why can't we be happy that the world has one less bad guy? Maybe the trial would have demonstrated that he was in charge of all the ethnic cleansing killings. What does it matter? He had been neutralized with his removal from power, and now he has been neutralized from the world all together.
Unfortunately, his spirit lives on... in all those who treasure him and what he stood for.
