heinrich maneuver
last night, accused genocidal mastermind Slobodan "Butcher of the Balkans" Milosevic was found dead in his cell, awaiting trial for crimes against humanity.
there is speculation that he may have been poisoned, or committed suicide a la Heinrich Himmler in Nuremburg… the initial reaction is that he has "escaped justice". that last part confuses me — escaped justice? how? because he’s now dancing in hell of his own accord, as opposed to being tried, found guilty and then rendered dead?
OR… is it because he didn’t stick around to be murdered by his vengeful accusers?1 DO NOT misunderstand me — this is not an expression of "sympathy for the devil" — i’m sure Milosevic was every bit the scumbag he was accused of being…. but at that, he was hardly a rare commodity, as the world is still full of tyrants, despots and madmen that are ignored, tolerated or embraced to whatever degree the West deems them valued resources…
but… this bullshit about "justice denied" is really about somebody wanting Milosevic’ blood on their hands, or being able to gloat over the thought of his rotting in jail - being better fed and cared for than the poor of Bosnia, no doubt…
"justice" here is a euphemism for vengeance… if it wasn’t, then all involved would simply be glad that the mother fucker is rotting in hell, where he belongs… or, did his accusers imagine that the fires of hell would be stoked higher for ol’ Slobby, if he were dispatched at the hands of those "seeking justice"…?
- assuming, of course, that he was found guilty (no, d’uh!) and got the death penalty [back]
