The fact that there are Albanian criminals in Europe no more mitigates the murder of Albanians in Kosovo than does the fact that the criminal Milosevic regime was in power mitigates the murders of the Serbs whose bodies were just discovered near Volujka.

Nice of you to at least equate them We had no such neutrality when we destoyed Serbia and killed thousands of civilians on behalf of the criminal KLA regime.

Untrue. The Former Republic of Yugoslavia Ministry of Foreign Affairs publication "NATO Crimes in Yugoslavia" came up with 495 deaths. The decidedly unfriendly-to-America Human Rights Watch did a study and came up with 488-527 bombing deaths; closely corresponding to Belgrade's 495. Go to para 53.

Of note, about half of those approximately 500 civilian casualties were in Kosovo, most of whom were the Kosovar Albanian refugees attacked by mistake in the Korisa Woods and in the Djakovica road incidents.

As to how we "destroyed Serbia", give me a break. If we wanted to destroy Serbia in 1999, it'd of been destroyed like Tokyo or Dresden or Hamburg was. Instead, Ceka was shaking her assets in concerts and Milosevic was sending around his flying squads of propagandists to every NATO strike just hoping that he'd find dead Serbs so he could broadcast it to the world. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for most of Serbia, our Air Force, Marine, and Navy pilots who flew 14,000 strike sorties were careful in target selection and precise in their aim.

It is a shame about the 500 civilians that died, but blame Slobo--not the United States Air Force. Milosevic built his career on the vicitimization of Serbs, both real and imagined. Unfortunately, much of the imagined part continues to live on in the posts of you and your propagandized fellow travelers.
