Obviously this is the type of attention he wants
well after all he did to his own people, did he think that they were going to hold his hand when they caught him? he's reaping what he sowed for over 20 something years.
why are you trying so hard to be a american and forget your slavic/polish past?? you need to get your head out your ass and stop watching fox news and cnn and believe everything they say
who cares? let them beat them beat the fuck outta him, its a wonder the UN is even going thru the motions of an actual trial for this guy when they should just take him in an alley and shoot him.
