Nothing is more galling about the post-Dayton behavior of suspected war criminals than the way some flaunt their freedom and stolen riches. Zeljko Raznatovic, who fought under the nom de guerre Arkan, is the most notorious of Serbia's paramilitary chiefs. He personally led his 200-odd Tigers through Bosnia to rape, torture and murder.

He is affiliated with Belgrade's biggest soccer club...

...Colonel Lika -- a nom de guerre -- who commands one end of the Serb salient, is absolutely convinced that the Germans are really behind the war. "We are completing a war against German expansion and the creation of a new world order," he says. "The Croats and the Muslims are the tools of a new German expansion and they can be sacrificed." He is not alone in this conviction. "This is a war against Germany and the Pope," insists another fighter. "Germany wants a warmwater Adriatic port." Never mind that this makes no logical sense.
