The Yugoslavian government of the time was protecting the monks, Serbs, Albanians who were not separatists, Roma, Turks and all the other people of Kosovo prior to the attacks by Clinton and NATO. Since NATO and Kfor have abrogated to themselves the responsibility for keeping the peace in Kosovo it is Kfor's and NATO's obligation to protect everyone, not just the Albanians who have been attacking and ethnically cleansing everyone who is not an Albanian separatist.

You might try to look up David Binder's articles on the situation in Kosovo going back to the '80's published in the Times were Albanians were open about their plans to drive Serbs out of the province. If your pragmatic plan means that the monks should be chased out of their monastery then where does it stop, in Belgrade or maybe Berlin? Let the Albanians rule the world. The fact is that under Clinton's leadership the principle of sovreignty and the inviolability of national borders was destroyed and this has directly led to the assaults on Macedonia and in fact, backs up Saddam's idea that Kuwait should be his by right of arms.

While the Serbs were fighting the KLA without NATO acting as the KLA Air Force, there were about 3000 deaths on all sides - afterwards that number skyrocketed, particularly after NATO took control of the province and hundreds of thousands have been ethnically cleansed with a mixed population incuding Albanians going - get this, to Serbia which is in fact the only country in the Balkans whose constitution says that it is a country of its Citizens, not just of Serbs.
