My biggest problem with the entire Yugoslavia situation was that the US took sides with a terrorist group that was just as bad, and actually worse than the Yugoslav forces.

I love this statement. Of course, KLA is responsible for all those people killed in Bosnia and Croatia, how ignorant of me.

Yes, very ignorant of you since I am speaking about Kosovo, Province of Serbia, in Yugoslavia.

“I love this statement. Of course, KLA is responsible for all those people killed in Bosnia and Croatia, how ignorant of me.”

There were Kosovo Albanians who went to murder civilians in Bosnia. Just because they didn't kill under the banner of the KLA doesn't mean they weren't terrorists just the same. In Macedonia and Southern Serbia they switch acronyms occasionally - ANA, NLA, etc. An ethnic Albanian fighter in Macedonia mentioned his previous fighting in Kosovo, and before that, in Bosnia and Croatia.

Ichabod, didn't you state that one thing that could have helped spark the war between Croats and Muslims in Bosnia was Kosovo Albanians killing priests in Tuzla - both Orthodox and Catholic?

http://www.balkanpeace.org/temp/tmp13.html (Bosnia) -

The Mujahedin forces were closely associated with the 5th Corps, the 6th and 7th Zenica Brigades, the 7th Travnik Brigade, and the 45th Muslim Brigade which belongs to the 6th Corps in Konjic of the Army of BiH (US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648; see also Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435; «Continuing Clashes in Northwestern Enclave Reported from Both Sides», BBC, Summary of World Broadcasts, 14 December 1993.)

They also allegedly fought alongside the Muslim Police, the Krajiska Brigade from Travnik, units of Kosovo Muslims, Albanian soldiers, and paramilitary groups such as the «Green Legion» and the «Black Swans».(Charles McLoed, ECMM, Report on Inter-Ethnic Violence in Vitez, Busovaca and Zenica, April 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 20178-20546, at 20207; Croatian Information Centre, Weekly Bulletin, No. 9, 4 October 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 36434-36438, at 36435; US Department of State, 1993, IHRLI Doc. No. 62612-62877, at 62648, 62724, 62730, and 62756.)
