My purpose was not to write comprehensive essays to overwhelm you, but to highlight some important points addressed in the thread, whose subject is the well designed, propaganda-savvy terrorist activity of the KLA. I may have digressed a bit by noting some similarirties in the tactics of KLA terrorists with terrorists in Iraq, but let open-minded readers of the forum decide on the merits of this comparison.

Your purpose is to throw a smokescreen up around Serbian war crimes - unfortunately for you, pythag, that smokescreen is easily pierced, and I figure Mark is in the same state I am when confronted with your BS: decidedly underwhelmed.

Face it - you're just not propaganda savvy enough to carry out your chosen mission on these threads, and the only alternative, being honest, is counterproductive to your cause.

Which is why you're reduced to either facile dismissals of anything contrary to the views you're trying to push, as in the case of the number of Kosovar Albanian refugees brought up by Mark, or simple avoidance, as in the case of me calling you on your claim as to the VJ prosecuting it's members for war crimes committed in Kosovo.

Obviously, since you have not backed up anything you said. Here's a court transcript of a mother describing how Serb police herded a group of Albanian civilians into a coffee shop and opened fire, killing her children, among others. In your world-view, that's worth applauding. Her testimony starts on page 7902:

Then it stopped, the shooting, and then I looked up and I saw Vjollca was still alive and said, "Oh, Shyhrete, look what they're doing to us." I said, "Look at, look at Dafina, see where she is." And I looked around and I saw Dafina, Vjollca's daughter. She was suffering. And the daughter of Musli Berisha said, "Oh, look what they've done to me. Look at my feet, look at my legs," she screamed.

And then the brother-in-law of Hajdini said, "Look at my poor Granit. Look what they've done to him ... Then Majlinda spoke, my largest daughter. She was uninjured, with her son and brothers. And Sebahate was uninjured with her two children. Ismet was 3 and Eron was ten months old. And Altin was near me. He was ten years old. We were uninjured. ...Then Majlinda said, "Mummy, mummy, look at how they've killed Herolinda." And when I looked around, I saw Herolinda over there and saw her, that she was lying on the ground with five or six bullet holes in her flesh. She had been such a beautiful girl. And Sebahate on the other side said, "Look. They've killed -- they've killed her. They've killed Jori [phoen] and Sherine." Sherine was a brother-in-law, and the other one was his brother. ... I pretended I was dead. And my son Altin and Vjollca, I said to them, "Lie as if you're dead." Because we heard the Serbs talking in their language, saying, "Get the trucks ready and get the bodies out of here as quickly as possible."

10 MS. ROMANO: The witness and two other survivors and the corpses of the dead were then loaded onto a truck which drove off in the direction of Prizren. Two gold chains were removed from around her neck. The witness, although severely wounded, managed to jump off the truck in the village of Malsia e Re (Ljutoglav) where some Albanians took care of her. She was taken to Grejkoc and subsequently Budakova, where she received medical treatment for her wounds. Her husband and four children - two daughters and two sons - were killed in Suva Reka.

So Pythagorean, how much did your friends get for the gold chains?
