Slobodan Milosevic was born in 1941 and went on to become the President of Serbia and the Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia. He became a ruthless dictator. After his downfall, he has been handed over to the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in Hague and is charged for genocide and crimes against humanity. An unrelenting and unrepentent Milosevic has been defending himself since he was arrested in 2001. His case is still going on.
Saddam Hussein was born in 1937 and went on to become the President Of Iraq. He ran a government with absolute control and oppressed any dissent against his rule. He invaded Iran and waged war killing a million on both sides. He invaded Kuwait that invoked a swift military response from The United States and its Allies. He was captured by the United States Forces in 2003 and is held in detention in Iraq. At a special Tribunal in Iraq he is charged with mass killings and crimes against humanity.
The lesson in these two cases that dictaors and tyrants who oppress and commit crimes against humanity are being brought to justice. They can run but they can't hide for ever. These people have committed horrific crimes and while it is little consolation to their countless victims, to give them a fair trial is in the interest of justice.
