I have always thought that we owed the Serbs for their help and sacrifice during WWII. Added to that, they are, at least, nominally Christian.
We should made a deal with the Russians and given the Serbs free rein, or even helped them, then called it even.
I still don’t understand why we came down on the side of Muslims, terrorists, and organized crime in eastern Europe.
There was zero humanitarian case to be made for aiding the kosovars. There were a half dozen or so real-politik kinds of reasons and the pentagon determined that together theyy did not add up to a case for doing anything and advised SlicKKK not to do it. The overriding concern was having Juanita Broaddrick and Chinagate on the front pages of newspapers; a week after starting the Kosovo operation, there were newspaper reports of SlicKKK and his cronies doing high fives and talking about hitting a “home run”. A home run that is, which amongst other things, cost the lives of several thousand little Slavic Orthodox children.
