On Thursday, February, 26th 2009 it was reported that former Serbian President Milan Milutinovic has been acquitted for crimes against ethnic Albanians in the 1990’s during the violent break-up of the Balkans. In July, 2006 Milutinovic and five other co-accused went to trial charged with forced deportation of about 800,000 people and the murder of hundreds of civilians by Serb military in Kosovo in 1999. In the trail all six defendants pleaded not guilty to crimes against humanity including murder, deportation, and one charge of war crimes.

I feel extremely flabbergasted by the fact that these men including Milutinovic can plead not guilty to the crimes against humanity including murder and deportation. It is known and stated that these men forcibly deported 800,000 people and even if the number is incorrect I feel that there is no way that NO ONE was deported against their will because of these men. There are many eye witnesses to the murder of many if not hundreds of innocent people. I feel that the world should stop and look at how incredibly unbelievable it would be to let men like this walk free among our society. I feel that people like this deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

Its very true that unbelievable inequalities exist in this world, especially in the realms of the higher class where things tend to be overlooked because of power and money. More regualtions on the super rich should be put in place to prevent sitauations such as this.
