Mourning: Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has died in the United Nations jail in the suburbs of The Hague, The Netherlands. My slug to lead this item says mourning but the reason to mourn his passing is because he won't be convicted of any of the 60 counts of war crimes for which he was being tried. There are people in Serbia--and probably some in Montenegro--who will mourn his death. It is unfortunate that his death will redirect attention away from others wanted for war crimes and again keep many people in this region from recognizing the brutality of his regime.
