and here you are again. How many Albanian men did Serbs kill, how many Albanian women did they rape, and how Catholic Churches, mosques and houses did the Serbs burn before their churches got touched? And how come no one burned Albanian Christian churches?

Those Serb churches have been there for centuries and no one touched them. Victimization apparently is an art with you. What you do to others does not matter, but if they hit you back, even at 5% you’re a victim.
Read this first http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/kosovo/ or search any reputable site (CNN, BBC, ABC...)

Yes, Milosevic’s forces committed atrocities, but that doesn’t justify atrocities committed by Albanians against innocent Serbs.

>and how Catholic Churches, mosques and houses did the Serbs burn before their churches got touched?

I was under the impression that the Serbs largely left the Albanian Catholics alone. Or was I mistaken?

>Those Serb churches have been there for centuries and no one touched them.

Does that include the Ottoman Turkish period?

You are reading a bunch of lying propaganda by HRW which is funded by NATO countries.

Many of what it reports are merely accusations - some by KLA soldiers themselves.

The rapes are entirely unsubstantiated with DNA evidence. The Macedonian medical personnel reported that the refugees were arriving UNINJURED.

It is known that the KLA ordered the people to leave when NATO started bombing - this was testified to by a German reporter who was embedded with the KLA throughout 1998 and 1999. He witnessed how they controlled the Albanian refugees and were creating internal refugee problems and camps BEFORE the NATO bombing. They also told the Albanians what roads to use when they left.

Even a KLA commander at the trial admitted they gave orders for the people to leave.

The refugees HAD on jewelry when they arrived in Macedonia, they had money and some were reported to have guns according to the Macedonians.

As for the number of Albanian men killed it was 50-100 times LOWER than the propaganda during the war which had 100,000 to 500,000 men "missing" and believed to be killed.

The majority of the men killed were KLA fighters and there are memorials to these men all over Kosovo. They even have a memorial wall pattered after the U.S. Vietnam memorial wall of black marble and with names on them.

The Albanian population grew under Serb rule. From Milosevic's reign in the late 1980's until NATO bombing ALL those Albanians lived and raised their families in Kosovo.

None of them showed malnutrition and many of the younger people wore leather jackets (especially men), jewelry, make up, etc. and this shows on the pictures/video if you scrutinize.

You are reading a bunch of propaganda hype/lies and believing everything.

THE ALBANIAN KLA INITIATE THE VIOLENCE. THEY PURPOSELY ATTACKED AND KILLED POLICE TO BRING A CRACKDOWN TO BUY AN EXCUSE FOR FOREIGN INTERVENTION.

They also kidnapped and killed Serb civilians - this was down with increasing frequency in the year's run up to the NATO bombing.

As fro NATO they were positioning themselves in Macedonia over a year before the bombing.

The fact of the Serbs doing ethnic cleansing right when NATO had positioned itself and was flying over Serbia doesn't make sense as it would bring heavier bombing. Instead it suited the NATO PR excuse/agenda to bomb day after day.

Then you have to look at the Albanian population/census in Kosovo to realize it is essentially the same as it was pre-war which depicts no genocide.

People simply left during the bombing and came back after it was over.
