“Some things just don’t work well as joke material, such as saying that setting fire to U.S. Embassies “isn’t a bad option”. The burning of our embassy in Belgrade was an outrageous and intolerable attack against the United States.”
“...for the record, I’m no Serb hater. One of my best friends is a Serbian-American.”
Then ask him which attack was truly the outrageous, intolerable one. Was it hundreds of centuries old churches being burned to the ground under the UN’s “watchful eye”....perhaps Serbia being bombed relentlessly for over two months causing the deaths of God knows how many innocent civilians, for doing nothing more than finally reacting and defending themselves from decades of harassment and instigation by militant Muslims...maybe the conditions of the remaining Serbs in Kosovo, lives forever destroyed, looking at the desecrated graveyards of their former loved ones through a barbwire fence? Or your choice, the burning down of an evacuated building that represented the one country that made all those previous actions possible. I have a gut feeling he’s not going to see eye-to-eye with you on this.
Human Rights Watch says 489. The Serbian government reported 528.
Of those numbers, approximately 100 were Albanians, not Serbs.
The bombing campaign lasted 78 days and involved 1031 military aircraft flying a total of more than 38,000 sorties.
