Death of a Grinch

"It could have been that his shoes were too tight,
It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right,
But I think the most likely reason of all
Was that his heart was three sizes too small." - Dr. Seuss "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"
They're performing an autopsy on Slobodan Milosevic's remains Sunday amid claims by the former Yugoslav leader's supporters that he was poisoned and a statement by the chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor raising the possibility he committed suicide. My own theory is that, unlike the Grinch whose heart was too small, Milosevic may not have had a heart at all. He was on trial for orchestrating a decade of conflict that killed 250,000 people.
In Serbia, hundreds of Milosevic followers lit candles in his memory of their fallen hero at Socialist Party branches. Flags flew at half-staff outside party headquarters in Belgrade. Contrastingly, chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte said the trials of eight other suspects indicted for the massacre of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica in 1995 will help establish the record on Milosevic's involvement in the worst slaughter in Europe since World War II.
Was justice served if he was poisoned? If he committed suicide? He is dead, and the world is free of one more Yertle the Turtle.
