THE HAGUE, Netherlands â€"  Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic cast himself as a "mild man, a tolerant man" who tried to prevent war and then worked to reduce casualties on all sides in the bloody 1992-95 Bosnian conflict, as he opened his defense in his long-running genocide trial Tuesday.
His claims brought snorts of derision and cries of, "He's lying! He's lying!" from Muslim survivors of the war watching from the public gallery.
Karadzic, who faces charges including genocide and crimes against humanity, was given 90 minutes to make a statement on his role in the war that left an estimated 100,000 dead. The statement was not made under oath, meaning Karadzic could not be cross-examined by prosecutors.
In another of the tribunal's courtrooms, Goran Hadzic, a former leader of rebel Serbs in Croatia, became the last of the tribunal's 161 indicted suspects to face justice as his trial got under way.
He was arrested last year in northern Serbia after more than seven years on the run and pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering hundreds of Croats and expelling tens of thousands more.
Karadzic, a former psychologist and poet, told judges he was a "physician and literary man" who was a reluctant player in the violent breakup of Yugoslavia.
"Instead of being accused of the events in our war, I should be rewarded for all the good things I have done," he said through a court interpreter. "I did everything humanly possible to avoid the war ... I succeeded in reducing the suffering of all civilians."
Prosecutors have painted a starkly different picture of Karadzic during months of witness testimony, portraying him as a political leader who masterminded Serb atrocities throughout the war, from campaigns of persecution and murder of Muslims and Croats early in 1992 to the conflict's bloody climax, the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the U.N.-protected Srebrenica enclave.
Karadzic, 67, denied that portrait of him.
"Everybody who knows me knows I am not an autocrat, I am not aggressive, I am not intolerant," he told judges. "On the contrary, I am a mild man, a tolerant man with great capacity to understand others."
Karadzic boycotted the start of his trial in October 2009 saying he had not been given enough time to prepare. The first witness did not testify until April 2010 and prosecutors rested their case on May 25 this year.
Just over a month later, judges acquitted Karadzic of one count of genocide, saying prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to establish that a campaign of murder and persecution early in the Bosnian War amounted to genocide. Prosecutors have appealed the acquittal.
Karadzic still faces 10 more charges, including one genocide count relating to the Srebrenica massacre.
His wartime military chief, Gen. Ratko Mladic, is also on trial in The Hague, facing the same charges. Both men face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted.

Whenever I see some interesting questions like this, I go to consult my Master in order find out the full details. When I went to him, I am told that my master has gone to his native place and will be back next Monday only. So please wait.

I disagree. Although there are minor reflections of our society in Brave New World, Huxley was really writing about his time and the fears for their future at that point in time. Although he wrote about the future, he reflected his society and views during the thirties.
euronews interview - ILO leader calls for urgent action on Youth unemploymentwww.euronews.com There are nearly 25 million unemployed in Europe, of whom more than 17 million are in the eurozone. One in five young people in the EU cannot find a job, that is nearly five million youngsters. In some countries the rate of youth unemployment exceeds 40 percent. To open the interview euronews reporter Fariba Mavaddat reminded Guy Ryder, the newly elected Director of the United Nation's International Labour Organisation, the ILO, of what he said in his inaugural speech in May: "It is a tremendous opportunity in the middle of this global crisis to make a difference to the lives of millions of people.'' So, how does he intend to do that? *Guy Ryder:* "Well, you have described the drama of the European unemployment crisis and I really believe it is dramatic. What I said in my inaugural speech was that the ILO, if it is to be a success, has to touch the lives of these people. "We can do it in very different ways. We can do it t hrough working with the ILO member states. It is a world organisation with 185 member governments. We can do it through them, we can do it through cooperation activities, technical cooperation in a variety of ways, we can do it by trying to influence the international policy agenda, so that we can get the growth and job creation back into the world economy that is so badly missing at the moment. "I think the ILO has a role in all of these areas and I intend to do my best to ensure that we fulfil that role." *euronews:* "You called on ...
