Radovan Karadzic tops the wanted list of the UN 'War Crimes'
Tribunal and the US has put $5 million on his head. NATO hunts him day and night. In June, UN 'War Crimes' honcho Carla Del Ponte predicted Dr. Karadzic's apprehension within 24 hours. Yet the Serbian hero has eluded their handcuffs, a source of acute embarassment to NATO 'Special' Forces who take out their frustration on innocent Serb civilians.
The Hague Tribunal is selective in its outrage. The US will not allow its citizens to face trial there, and its recent 'decision' against Israel's apartheid fence was roundly condemned in the US and ignored in Israel.
Dr. Karadzic is wanted for having defended the Serbs of Bosnia against homicidal Muslim fundamentalists in the 1990s--many of them non-White veterans of the CIA's war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. His ongoing freedom is a source of pride to his fellow Serbs, who recognize in him the living tradition of Serbian resistance, forged in their dramatic, centuries-long opposition to the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire.
In Dr. Karadzic's homeland of Montenegro, one of the few lands in the Balkans to never go under the Ottoman yoke, nationalists recently held a traditional song festival in his honor, in defiance of the 'world community' hunting him.
"We will never betray Radovan," said attendee Mijojka Djeric. "He is a good man, and his deeds will live on even after his death."
"The Americans will never catch him as long as we keep his legend alive," said another, Radomir Knezevic.
One song declared: "Listen to me well, my dear brothers, they are looking for Radovan from The Hague, offering precious gold. But Radovan is not for sale. Oh, the rugged mountains, open your arms and save our brother Radovan."
----------
Politika of 30 January the president of the executive committee of the Social-Democratic Union , Vlatko Sekulovic, took the liberty of attacking "certain political parties which still harbour sympathies" for the first President of Republika Srpska, concluding that they are still receiving financial assistance from the same people who had financed Karadzic "while he was the leader of Serb nationalists in Bosnia and Herzegovina". He then asked the question whether those sympathies are sustained by money, and who finances various committees that busy themselves with "the protection of the image and acts of a war criminal such as Radovan Karadzic."
We in the International Committee for the truth about Radovan Karadzic are not in the least surprised that certain corrupt political parties in DOS, the overall activities of which are sustained exclusively by dirty money from abroad, cannot believe that someone can be dedicated to someone or to something out of coviction and not out of money. We, the members of the International Committee for the truth about Radovan Karadzic, act publicly out of conviction, and our very modest expenses are met by our own means. Dr Radovan Karadzic is very dear to us, but the truth is even dearer. Our public views, therefore, cannot be bought or sold in the way that otherwise people can be bought in the ruling parties, as well as votes in paliament.
The said Vlatko Sekulovic made the slip, at least we hope so, in asserting that Radovan Karadzic is a "war criminal". If the esteemed Mr Sekulovic is unfamiliar with our criminal law, at least he should know international law by which his financial sponsors swear and who only believe in the god of money. And according to international law, everyone must be presumed innocent until his guilt is lawfully proven and until a lawful judgement sentences him for a certain criminal act. Accordingly, from the standpoints of domestic and international law, Dr Radovan Karadzic is innocent, while every individual who calls him a war criminal is guilty.
