To: GAB-1955
Selected targets included hospitals, schools, orphanages, cemeteries, churches, 14th century monasteries on the World Heritage list.

NATO bombs hit oil supplies polluting the air so that civilians couldn't breath. NATO bombs hit civilians apartments, civilian factories so as to destroy the quality of life and terrorize those who were not killed. Let us not forget the pollution of the Danube caused by NATO bombs which affected all the surrounding nations international trade costing them milliongs of dollars.

Depleted uranium from the shells of the Gatling Gun poisoned the soil and the air of the Serbian people so that their children would be born deformed and rendered the soil unfit to produce food for the people to eat.

All this was chalked up to "collateral damage."

Oh, and let us not forget how NATO bombed the Chinese Embassy and called it a "mistake." Besides hitting the Chinese Embassy, NATO's not-so-smart bombs damaged the embassies of Italy, Switzerland, Pakistan, India, Libya, and Iraq. Not only could NATO's smart bombs not find the right target but they couldn't even find the right country as they hit FYROM (Macedonia) once and Bulgaria five times!!!

Deliberate targeting civilians in war is particularly egregious. However, there was no doubt that civilians were targeted when the following statement was made: "I think no power to your refrigerator, no gas to your stove, you can't get to work because the bridge is down - the bridge on which you held your rock concerts - and you all stood with targets on your heads. That needs to disappear at 3 o'clock in the morning." - Lt. Gen. Michael Short, USAF, 12 May 1999.

I guess that given the Serbian propensity to whine about asskickings, you're going to be bawling your eyes out over Allied Force for... well, forever. Aren't you.

Nobody cares.
