Kate, we killed ~504 civilians in 79 days of airstrikes.

In doing so, we forced Milosevic to pull back his forces which killed easily 10 to 20 times that number, depending upon whether you go by just corpses that have been recovered or add in those who are still missing.

Facts.

If we had to do it again, I'd support our doing it again.

Again, your 'facts' are polluted by the recursive hairball of Serb agitprop that gets inserted into conversations and passed off as truth. It doesn't help that you yourself have tried to add to the mass of lies, Kate, and refuse to correct your erroneous statements.

It's pretty simple what I'm saying and how it addresses your comments - let's see how long you have to move your lips and whether you can connect the dots, shall we?

As a couple final rhetorical questions for you, why don't you track down how many Serb civilains were actually killed in Allied Force, given that it's been two years since it finished, and even the most incompetent government would be able to piece together a list of names - unless they had motives for not doing so, and, hows about you tell me how many Serbs lost their lives at the hands of their bretheren ringing the hills of Sarajevo during the bombardment from 92-95, unless you feel that their blood wasn't innocent for some reason.

These figures were based largely on testimony as translated by the KLA, the same KLA that is associated with the terrorist network that has just killed 5000+ Americans. You can believe a terrorist organization that has just killed 5000 of your own (assuming you're American, of course), but forgive me if I don't.

The UN has verified that over 1,500 civilians died in the air strikes, there are one million refugees, and the country is in ruins. What was achieved? Nothing. As for your rhetoric questions - the Yugoslavian govt did put together a full list with evidence of all civilians killed. It was called the White Book and it was what the UN based its own figures on (after its own verification).

In years to come you will realise that it is not me being biased towards the Serbian people; it is you who refuse to treat Serbian people with respect or to see anything away from the poison spouted about Serbia by Nato. You judge everybody by the 'demons' painted by the media. Go there yourself and speak with people to understand how badly you have misjudged the country.

Please give the names and ages of some of the 10 to 20 times ~504 number you presented.

And what's your ratio of that total of KLA/mercenaries vs. civilians.

There are also well over a thousand missing Serbs, many since NATO took over the province, so I guess those should be counted as dead because that is what you do when there are supposed missing Kosovo Albanians.

The only three identified buried in Serbia, do not fit the bill because

1. They were mercenaries of the "Atlantic Brigade"
2. They were alive after the bombing stopped for at least a month.
3. They weren't killed in Kosovo, but after invading non-Kosovo Serbia. AND, a man who new them said they refused to give their arms to NATO after the war.
