Pumps' Perplexities

Olde Europe is still Olde Europe.....Milosevic is an example
of this.....

All I know is that Slobodan Milosevic was not a good man....
He tried to take Tito's place and continue to rule what was
once known as Yugoslavia......Tito ruled the combination of
ethnic groups, religions and ancient serfdoms with an iron
hand and succeeded is making a lot of money by renting out
his army to American movie companies.....

After Tito's death, like Charlemagne, the whole "deal"
collapsed......Milosevic was forced to fight to hold it all
together.....It did not work.....He became, in Western
eyes, the war criminal.......And off to trial he went.....

To the Hague, in Holland.....To a jail (or was it a castle
tower?).....To die......Was he guilty, was he innocent?....
A lot of people will make money from books which will
now study the history of the period......

Olde Europe just never did have to make that decision....
It just locked the problem up and awaited for it to go
away.....(Tower of London revisited).......Pumps
