Hitler in the news

Hittler - A study in tyranny by Alan Bullock.
I have just finished reading this book, as being born during the second world war I wanted to get a better undestanding of how he really came to power and then stayed there.
Alan has certainly done his homework and everything is referenced back to a speech, writing or quotation from an identified source.
Very enlightening indeed.
Thanks Alan.

Radovan Karadzic - Evil

Radovan Karadzic was the leader, and proud of it when the evil of the war in Bosnia was so aparant. Prosecutors say Mr Karadzic was the leader of an ethnic cleansing campaign in the Bosnian War, calling him the "undisputed leader" of Serbs responsible for carrying out atrocities during the conflict. 
Why does it need so much preparation  time before he can mount a defense of the indefensible.
And why will it take months, if not years to conduct the trial. Pick a major event and get it over with, and publish the evidence of the other crimes and allow the public to judge him directly. 
Save the time and money and convict him as soon as possible. Do not give him a platform from which to preach his hatred.

Sacking of Government advisor - UK

For sure a Government minsister is free to hire or fire advisors. It is also within a Goverment's power to set Policy that goes beyond that which advisors advise.
But this time the Minister seems a little paranoid and unable to state why precisely he is not following the recomendations of the scientists.
