Karadzic: update

Just a quick update to my yesterday's rant: Radovan Karadzic decided to defend himself at the Haag War Crimes Tribunal. Like his political mentor Milosevic, he probably thinks his intellectual capabilities can outclass any of the world-class prosecutors the tribunal can throw at him. The self-confidence of Serbian war-time politicians knows no boundaries. The only thing larger than their boastfulness is their ego, but the two come in a package anyway.

So, either Karadzic believes he is smarter than anyone he'll face in Haag, or he believes he's innocent. But, if he thinks he's innocent, why was he hiding for 12 years? Or, maybe he knows how much blood is on his hands and decided to mock the whole process by choosing to defend himself. Since there's no hope of the death penalty, I wish him some slow progressing terminal disease to eat at him for long time and with a lot of pain. A cancer would do him just fine.
