    BTW - what's all this Father Ted stuff? We used to call him "Radical Caravan"!!
    Ah, I can explain...

    The Petriburg family were watchingt the news one evening and Petriburgette piped up with "Dad, he looks just like Father Ted!" - a fair comment at the time?

    Anyway, I reported this in work the next day, where we were then playing "Where's Radovan?" ...

    It appealed to the hierarchy, so the game became known as "Where's Father Ted?". It slipped into common useage in some circles and the rest, as they say, is as good as a change!

    Looks like they'll have to come up with another reason for all that criminal activity!!!!

    One down two to go: Mladic an Hadzic
    'A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gate is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.'

    But on nowhere near the scale.

    Predicted? They precipitated it.

    Ah so the Serbs precipitated the rise of Islamic Terrorism in the world? I see; now its all very clear and in return the grateful Muslims began to wage a war against the very Nations who had brought about the downfall of the aggressors in the Balkans thus allowing the first Muslim state in Europe?

    Can't think of anyone more deserving of the hangman's noose.

    He'll blame it all on Milosevic and Ratface no doubt.

    What I don't get is why Serbs still act like they're victims. They got the lion's share of the territory. Most of those who carried out the lion's share of war crimes got away with it.

    Yet virtually all those passers-by in Belgrade when asked their opinion on his capture were still coming out with self-pitying nonsense about Serbia being finished, humiliated.

    Doubt you'll see any reconciliation in that part of the world anytime soon.

    In simple terms, half the population think this is a long overdue step on the path to normality. The other half think the new government has sold them (ie Serb brotherhood) out for a piece of eight.

    Suggest the camera crew were unlucky in only finding those from one side of the coin, or the editor deliberately decided to keep on dumbing down the Serbs!

    Re: Karadzic captured

    Anticipated usual sound bites late last night/this morning from the failed British “politicos” (Rejected ex-Marine officer, bitter and twisted failed Lordship). (Lord Owen could not even get the name right at one stage).

    Plus this morning, Muslim leader Haris Silajdžić (it’s his turn in the chair), of the B-i-H tri-Presidency.

    Silajdžić voiced his opinion that as captured Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, was instrumental in establishing Republika Srpska (the Serbian entity within Bosnia-i-Herzegovina), that was sufficient justification for dismantling Republika Srpska.

    This confirms what the Federation's politicians have been trying to achieve for some time now - widely reported in the Balkan press, but not in the English language.

    Edited (23JUL0 to add:
    Quote Originally Posted by RUSSIA TODAY reported:
    Dr. Haris Silajdzic, Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina said: "Hundreds of thousands of people around the world who are Bosnians were expelled from their homes” under threat of death. So, for justice to be complete, we must erase the consequences of this genocide in Bosnia." http://russiatoday.ru/news/news/27884
    Karadzic did not establish Republika Srpska.

    It was the internationally negotiated Dayton Agreement/Peace Accord, that established Republika Srpska, and brought an end to the bloodshed.

    The Dayton Agreement/Peace Accord also established the Federation - from which the Federation’s politicians draw their authority; and, to which they owe their positions of influence.

    If the Federation’s politicians maintain their insistence on the dissolution, eradication, of Republika Srpska, they should realise that they will also remove any authority and influence that they now have.

    The Dayton Agreement/Peace Accord, was not a “pick-and-mix” arrangement. Remove one part of it and the whole thing is destroyed.

    Maybe there is justification for another thread “Will Bosnia-i-Herzegovina really kick-off again?”
