Serbs are the closest thing there is to normal, decent, middle-class working people in the Balkans and, beyond that, they are Christians. Christians simply don't do the kinds of things Serbs have been accused of; slammites do.

Moreover the US military is stretched to the max now and Europeans wouldn't lift a finger to help albunny kosovars; you could eliminate 90% of European crime by bombing Kosovo (the albunny parts of it) and the whole world knows it. Russia is well poised to call any sort of a Jorge/Condoloser Rice bluff in this one.
