...counterweight to the bear, and perils to come. But there is more. Whether Russia is tame or growling, the U.S. simply remains the indispensable power for all seasons. The Europeans remember the 1990s, when they could not get a posse together to take on Slobodan Milosevic's Serbia. It took Bill Clinton's America and the U.S. Air Force to do the job. If the U.S. doesn't lead, nobody follows...
...Karadzic's radical rejection of the court's legitimacy echoes that of his one-time ally, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who died in 2006 before his four-year trial could produce a verdict. But there are important differences between the two men. For one, Karadzic is healthy, so the numerous delays and light court schedule that plagued Milosevic's trial shouldn't apply. While Karadzic also defies the court, he's far less aggressive than Milosevic. And more respectful. He stands when the judges enter the court; he wears his translation headphones, something Milosevic never deigned to do. Although...
...more recent periods of glory, too. Back in the 1970s, the red-tiled resort island of Sveti Stefan was a summer retreat for the likes of Sophia Loren, Kirk Douglas and Doris Day.

It wasn't until 1997 that Djukanovic broke with Milosevic, a divorce completed nine years later with the declaration of independence...

By contrast, the government's junior coalition partner, the Socialist Party of Serbia - once led by former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic - was less effusive. Its leader, Ivica Dacic, heads the Interior Ministry, which pointedly denied that police had been involved in Karadzic's arrest...
...litany of rogues who once boasted of their impunity but later ended up in the dock is surprisingly long, and each has been rapidly emasculated by his fall. A few years ago, I visited the Hague courtroom where former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic was being tried. Unlike when he had engineered the dismemberment of Yugoslavia and forced more than 2 million Bosnians from their homes, Milosevic was not in charge. As he ramped up his rant against the judges to a fever pitch, the judge simply turned off Milosevic's microphone, leaving him gesticulating wildly and foolishly but emitting...
