The death penalty isn't regarded as a human rights issue here, it is just another punishment

Of course thatīs true. What I wanted to say is that the way the US treats human rights these days is in unacceptable for Europeans. Now if A.S. would have pardoned that guy it would have been a small sign that the US acts not always in a "I-feel-this-is-my-right-and-therefore-I-do-it" and "Who-cares-what-the-other-think" mode.

In general though Europe seems really soft on its criminals. I mean why don't you give Milosevic a sensual message.

Well, I guess that just fits in the picture, that the average European has about the average American.
The reason why we donīt give a "sensual message" is, that we live in a constitutional state, and EVERYBODY, good or bad, has the same rights! I hope, you didnīt mean it that way it came across.
