What you are stating is pure d Clintonista/Euroweenie bullcr@p. The Clinton spin machine, otherwise known as CNN and the MSM, kept touting "100,000 innocent and thoughly angelic Albanians massacred by bloodthirsty, evil Serbians sporting fangs and horns." This figure kept being revised down until it was less than 3,000. Incidentally, many of the dead were victims of the NATO air campaign, many more were victims of KLA atrocities. This information did not seem to be important enough to make it into CNN's reporting.
No side was lilly white during these Balkan wars. The Western Europe and the USA paid back a traditional ally (Serbia), one that saved the lives of hundreds of allied airmen during WWII, by siding with some of the most scurrilous people in Europe. A policy decision was made by the Clinton administration and certain Western European powers (notably, France) to back Muslim elements in order to curry favor with the Arab world. Why? Obviously to keep the cheap oil flowing.

Re: your Post #11 ....
You really believe that? Okaaayyyyy .... you guys really need to get out of your paranoid fantasyworld more often, and acquaint yourselves with the actual facts.
And tell us again why this was necessary:
"The International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague has issued indictments against Serb and Montenegrin soldiers over the attacks on the beautiful Croatian port city of Dubrovnik.
Those indicted face 16 different kinds of war crimes in connection with the artillery attacks on the ancient city and its surroundings.
Their identities have not been revealed by the tribunal, but they were members of the then Yugoslav Federal Army and Navy, the Bosnian Serb Army and Montenegrin paramilitary units.
The punishing three-month bombardment of Dubrovnik in 1991 was one of the events which turned international opinion against the Serbs."
