Radovan Karadzic is a published poet, a graduate of medicine, psychologist and a man who gained the nickname, “The Butcher of Bosnia”.<br /><br /> He will go down in history for his crimes during fighting in the Bosnian war of the 90s.<br /><br /> In 1990 he helped found the Serb Democratic Party aimed at unifying Serbs into a common state and he became its president.<br /><br /> “Don’t think you won’t take Bosnia to hell and Muslim people perhaps to extinction. Because Muslims can’t defend themselves if there is a war here. How will you prevent everyone killing each other.”<br /><br /> Those words he spoke in a debate in the Bosnian Parliament in 1992 on a proposed independence referendum had an ironic resonance as the Balkans began to tear themselves apart in conflict.<br /><br /> In 1992 Bosnian Serb forces under the command of Ratko Mladic who answered to Karadzic targeted civilian areas of Sarajevo during a three-year conflict.<br /><br /> A force of 13,000 encircled Sarejevo and it became the longest siege of a capital city in modern warf
