You missed the point of the story, which had to do with accepting a good thing that stemmed from a bad person. The good thing isn't even necessarily the book itself, but the enjoyment it gave Mehmedinović's son. Writing a decently written book for children is a good act and more than a manifestation of talent.
I'm definitely not saying it's a redeeming act, and I'm not saying that Karadžić is some kind of flawed hero. He is a bad guy, regardless of how much he loves his grandchildren.
But, is he particularly exceptional in his evil? All it takes to nurture his kind of evil is to consider a group of people as something less than human, a 'them' less important than 'us.' This kind of belief is prevalent everywhere; it is nearly innate.
