Here's a canada.com article about Slobodan Milosevic dying. And here's a quote:
Tens of thousands of mourners packed a square in front of Belgrade's federal parliament building Saturday to bid a final farewell to Slobodan Milosevic, who died while on UN trial for some of Europe's worst atrocities since World War II.
Here's the thing that I don't get: He's a criminal! He's on the level of Osama Bin Laden... actually, in terms of sheer nubers, probably worse. And yet, in two days, 70,000 people stopped by to mourn his passing and to view his coffin.
I guess it's not as black and white as good guy/bad guy.

Nubers ought to be numbers... but i suppose that could have something to do that you had a deadline for those three posts that was for today... and your first post was two days ago... but that's ok... i love you man... even if there are words you don't say....
Andrew,
I was amazed when they interviewed people who were standing in line to pay their respects - calling him a hero, a wonderful leader etc. - talk about revisionism, cognitive dissonance or whatever...
I also want to salute Lucas the Bruce, for actually being the first cause (after the Sovereignty of God of course) of three posts!
Love
Aunt Deb
