Milosevic story for Open Source

I'm working on a story about Milosevic's death for Radio Open Source. If you have any comments, please make them on this post.

If you are in South/Eastern Europe or have a connection to the region: what did you and the people around you think of Milosevic, his trial, and the resolution of the conflicts over the past decades? what does his death mean for the region? what happens next? what is justice in this case, and who should get to decide it? and what about the autopsy and funeral? is this just conspiracy theory stuff, or will it shape how the majority of Serbs or Croats or Muslims (or any other group) deal with the episode?

Comments from any reader are most welcome. You may want to read Kosova Report or A Petty Hitler, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark's stunning indictment in today's Wall Street Journal. That post may not adhere to copyright rules; suffice it to say that you should find some way to read the article.

The people at Open Source want me to take more iniative and come up with my own feature ideas. As I was combing the blogosphere for posts on the death of Milosevic, I realized that this space could be used as a clearinghouse for comments that could end up on the Open Source site. Hopefully, it will give prospective contributors a place to share ideas and stories. It might be a great way to liven up Thayer and Charlesfield with visitors from around the world as I address various topics.
