Vojislav Šešelj, the Serbian ultra-nationalist on trial at the United Nations’ war crimes tribunal in The Hague, was released for cancer treatment in Serbia two years ago (“Vojislav Šešelj for Beginners,” November 14, 2014). Ever since, he has been most vocal in support of the Serbian nationalist cause, but the court has done nothing to stop him. And the same court declared him innocent of any war crimes earlier today. There is quite a bit of consternation about this decision in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Šešelj and his bloody Chetniks were active during the breakup of Yugoslavia. The vaunted court has baffled everyone. The conundrum has little if anything to with Šešelj, though. Once again, the decision most likely comes from America. Another internecine war in the Balkans would further destabilize the European Union, and Šešelj’s shenanigans could not but make it ever more probable. Sooner or later, American military intervention would become inescapable. As for the court in The Hague, incompetence is its one and only strength to this day. Nations united in stupidity, for ever and ever.
