the Serbs asked for our help in controlling the problem with the Albanians

News to me. Was this supposed to be pre or post Milosevic's usurpation of Kosovo's Federal vote? Either way, could you provide some substantiation?

My point is this- just post the names of the dead at Racek! How many again? How many women and Children at racek? They were not Muslem Albanian rebels killed in battle?

It's been too long, I don't have any links to the story, but the gist of it was that the Albanian Muslims in Kosovo were attacking the minority Serbs back in the late eighties. The Muslims had been directed to kidnap and rape the Serbian women and kill the young men. This went on for several years, then Milosovic took over and decided to reverse the situation after requesting help from the outside and receiving a cold shoulder. There were lots of stories about this and the name of the Muslim Mullah that ordered the rapes and killings was known also, but I no longer remember the details. The killings in Serbia were very much a matter of mutual combatants, much like the situation in Israel. The Muslims start something that they cannot finish, and then cry that they are being persecuted.
I have very little sympathy for them.
