To my colleagues
Richardo Someriti and Leonidas Chatziprodromidis
for their courage and persistence
“When I hear so many Greeks—
journalists, academics, politicians, intellectuals—
expressing their admiration for Karadzi=c;; ,
what can I say? How can they consider as a hero
a criminal, somebody who bombed hospitals,
who placed snipers to kill kids on the streets?”
—Zoran Mutic;, September, 
