As someone who often denounced the repression of the late Slobodan Milosevic, I do not minimize his responsibility for the 1999 conflict in the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija. Nevertheless, William Walker's heaping of every foul claim human malice can concoct on Serbs collectively, even more than on Milosevic himself, is another matter ("A separate take from Serbia," Op-Ed, Feb. 24).
I live in Kosovo and know firsthand what actually happened - and did not happen - during the NATO war against my country. Mr. Walker describes the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) as "a tiny band" fighting "systematic" crimes against ethnic Albanians. But there was no widespread violence until 1996, when the KLA attacked Serbian refugees and murdered - often in front of their families - Albanian postmen, forest workers and other "collaborators."
Mr. Walker asserts that Albanians were "transported in cattle cars" into exile, but large numbers of Albanians - many of whom sheltered into the rest of Serbia or in Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries - fled only when the NATO attack was imminent. Not even NATO's fevered propaganda claimed anything like "cattle cars," which is Mr. Walker's deliberate effort to pin a Nazi label on us Serbs.

Those who relish the destruction of Orthodox Churches everywhere will be on this thread soon enough. They believe they can suppress the truth with their shouting and that no one will notice they are actually supporting Jihad.
