Yep, really miss that ole Tito.  If you want a neat, clean, well run country you have to break a few eggs.  People behave better and are more productive when they are scared, don't they?

If Jesus was alive today,Republicans would call him gay and Democrats would put him on food stamps.

Was only marveling at Tito's political skills, not how he ran the country.  He was a repressive tyrant for sure and the break-up of Yugoslavia was largely a result of how he ran the country while he was dictator.  Sure, he "kept the lid on" but that only results in making a pressure cooker that blows up.

Tito was mostly tough with Stalinists and ultranationalists.Stalinists are long gone after Stalin death,but ultra nationalist are still live and well.
After WWII,many Nazi supporters from Croatia and Serbia escaped country and found refugee in West.Apparently being against communist was more important then being Nazi.
western countries were accepting these people without any questions.

Today you have whole communities of these people and their children living from US all the way down to Australia.
You can run into quite a bit of these people,who were supporting Nazis back in 1945 and today are living here like nothing ever happened.
Some of their kids have forgotten and moved on but some are still running same old story.

Here is example from Australia,were they are openly displaying Nazisam and support for fascistic ideas from WWII.
