On the couch with Karadzic

I was pleased to learn that career mass war criminal (allegedly) Radovan Karadzic has finally been brought to book. There aren’t many laughs to be had out of the Balkan conflicts but I was tickled to hear that the former leader of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Hercegovina had been living in secret as an alternative healer.

Can you imagine having your chakras realigned by that guy?

“Hi there, I’ve been having trouble with my sciatica.”

“Well, I would recommend a combination of treatments. Chiropracty, hopi ear candles and rounding up all males over the age of 15 and dumping their bodies in a mass grave for the glory of Greater Serbia.”

Finally, a shout out to Goran Kojic who is officially the journo with the worst news sense in Europe. As editor the Belgrade magazine Healthy Life, he commissioned pieces from one of the most wanted men in the world without every clocking that Karadzic was anything other than your run of the mill tea tree hugger.
