How long before servant follows master?

Captured war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic was living in Serbia's capital Belgrade and practising alternative medicine, Serb officials say.

He was working in a private clinic, sporting a long white beard and calling himself Dragan Dabic, said Serbian minister Rasim Ljajic.

The former Bosnian Serb leader was arrested on Monday near Belgrade after more than a decade on the run.

He has been indicted by the UN tribunal for war crimes and genocide.

The UN says Mr Karadzic's forces killed up to 8,000 Bosniak men and boys from Srebrenica in July 1995 as part of a campaign to "terrorise and demoralise the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population".

He was also charged over the shelling of Sarajevo, and the use of 284 UN peacekeepers as human shields in May and June 1995.

Background to Karadzic's capture

Serbia has wanted to join the EU for a long time, I've met many serbs in my travels in Eastern Europe and many are desperate to join the EU. However the demand by the EU that Serbia hand over Karadzic and Mladic first has always been the stumbling block.

I don't believe the current pro-Europe government had any part in today's capture of Karadzic but the BBC report of shady backroom deals and money exchanging hands leading to his capture makes me wonder.

I think in the current climate, Russia's ties with Serbia mean the Euro question on Serbia will drag

No doubt.

But who is wrong here.

We are.

We are violating agreements we signed with the Russians.Is our word no longer good?Are we now in the business of deceit.I trained to killed Russians in my day.I turned down boring ass peacekeeping assigments in the Sinai in order to do so.Although,I never got the chance I had wanted that chance.

To the rest of the world we are the Imperialist.Imagine if Russia was putting missiles in Mexico?Rice,the so called Russian expert is basically an idiot who is being used for when things go bad which they are in a big way.I would have told you this is where we would have have ended up.Putin as most Russians feel is pissed off with the way they have been treated by us Americans.Bush has squandered any goodwill Reagan created.Listen to what Gorbachev has to say.Overseas most countries feel the same.We look like a bunch of opportunistic a-holes.

This is why we should never let greedy stupid asses run our government.
