He is surely responsible for a lot of nasty things, but his biggest mistake was to be on the losing side. As always.
A guru, nice cover.
(But The New Jews, what a platitude)

Seconded. Everybody wants to be the New Jew these days, it seems. Of course, nobody wants to be a New Nazi. It's better to be an Untermensch and win in the end than to be an Uebermensch and lose.

What do you think of his poems?

Interesting parallel as it had always seemed a little odd to me that in the general exclamation of how awful the Serbs acted in recent history, everyone easily forgot the slightly less recent history of "friendship" between the Kosovarians and the nazi's.

Noa

You mean the Croatians I guess?

To survive for years as a doctor in alternative medicine, disguised as a nephew of Ayatollah Khomeini, writing for a magazine called "Healthy Living" - he cannot be accused of lack of imagination and a extreme sense for irony.

I don't know his poetry. But I would say he would make a better and more apt "Dichter des Vaderlands" ("National Poet", Poet Laureate) for Serbia than Driek van Wissen does for the Netherlands.

How about you? Did you publish any?

I had never heard of this man until yesterday. How Strangely History does work.
I think men with beards as his are interesting, and if I'd 've met him recently, I probably would've liked him for it.

@Arnon, sorry, yes of course; post-meningitis topped by a post-childbirth mind, so I should know better than to go to places to places of less recent history.

Between a policeman and a criminal is a thin line, between a psychiater and a loonatic too

@ Noa,
Me too, I was not sure about your Kosovarians, you probably meant the Croatian Ustase. But there were indeed (muslim) Kosovarian, Albanian and Bosnian volunteers for Germany too.

@Jan, I still have to admit I made a mistake and did mean the Kroatians. But the mistake is interesting indeed, as factually it turns out it wasn't a mistake at all and I now know that indeed, as you say, there's more nazi-ties to be found. See this one also - (brr, twisted world.)

@Jan/Arnon

The only reason why I remembered the nazi-thing by the way is that on trying to place the 'who's right and who's wrong issue' in the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian war in a different light, someone anecdoted how under nazi-regime the Kroatians had taken to the habit of scooping the eyes out of the sockets of the Serbs, putting them in a bucket and presenting them to their nazi-friends. I'm not sure whether the Serbs were still alive or dead when doing this to them, and whether it's truth or fabel, but maybe Arnon can fill us in.

Rutger

You may be right.
I wrote a poem for the high school yearbook. It was called 'Baboon'.
There was this group of dada/anarchist poets in my class, but they didn't let me join.
