Things in the Balkans are not black and white.

Tim Judah's a propagandist, so I stopped reading once I saw his name. During the "revenge" after NATO troops came in, he sat with an Albanian woman drinking a beverage while Serbs were being terrorized and ethnically cleansed. Never a word from him about stopping violence. Never an offer by him to give water or help the Serb victims. He also seemed to gloat when the British soldiers set up in a half-built Serbian church and watched a popular soap opera.

The British were involved in a massacre and mutilation of Serb farmers that summer. The Serbs had asked for protection when they harvested their fields. They told the British soldiers the time of day, as well. Instead, KLA in British uniforms and vehicles given them by the Brits showed up. The Serbs thought they were in fact British soldiers, but they were KLA who fired on them and then used the Serbs' tractors to run over and mutilate the bodies. There were 13 or 14 Serb farmers killed.

Sorry, but the BBC can't be counted on as the unvarnished truth in the Balkans - especially given that they were party to bombing Serb civilians in Bosnia and Serbia.
