I've argued all along that in Kosovo, at the very least, we fought on the wrong side. The Serbs were fighting the same islamofascist monsters that we're fighting now.

The answer is yes, we backed the wrong side in Yugoslavia and many of us were saying it at the time.
As usual, American public opinion was swung by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsday writer who wrote about the atrocities in the areas where Serbs wouldn't kill him but wasn't so hot at getting the story in Muslim areas where he would have been slaughtered.

On the wrong side in Yugoslavia?
Absolutely.

To clumsily analogize... if illegals here began attacking our police stations and landmarks, and our government began retaliating, and then Russia or someone came in and starting bombing Washington, you'd have roughly the equivalent.

We were on the wrong side. That's why the Leftists didn't march in the street protesting Clinton's war of aggression. The Left knew we were killing Christians. The Left knew we were supporting Islamofascists. So the Left supported the war.

If Milosevic was the right side, then somebody's asking the wrong question.

The Serbs destroyed more churches during the wars of the 1990's than any other group - imagining Milosevic's assorted thugs and paramilitaries as agents of Christianity is simply ignorant stupidity.

One may as well take Reagan to task for siding with Muslims against "Christian Russians" in Afghanistan during the 1980's.

We shouldn't have supported any side. They've been going at each other for centuries.
