No, we could have let Yugoslavia fight the UCK terrorists who were killing people of all races and religions just as we fight terrorists.
The clinton administration had plans for the attack on Yugoslavia. People, including Albanians, began leaving Kosovo when we began the bombing campaign. Many fled into central Serbia. Today many Muslims continue to live peacefully in Serbia. They don't need NATO troops and razor wire for their survival.
Now we are just letting the Serbs Albanians ethnically cleanse Kosovo of all Muslims non-Albanians and kill Albanians that don't toe the UCK line!
That would have been a bad idea but we had blinders on and still do: the genocide wasn't 1-sided, we just chose to help one side over the other. Some of the mass graves the UN has been documenting for the last decade plus, are full of serb corpses.
Serbs rightfully see the US as against them. I truly do not understand the US policy on Russia and it's allies. We support the Kosovars' independence movement but tell Russia to stay out of the various independence movements by Serbs in Georgia. We also react negatively to Russia's military actions against the islamofascist Chechyna rebels.
What are we thinking???
