1. There were mass graves of men, women and children found in Kosovo that were filled by Milosovic's 'army' -- Serbs were not innocent here, they DID butcher civilians wholesale.
2. Many in America were reluctant to get involved because there seemed to be no 'good' side to get behind.
3. The Europeans should have been the ones to intervene, because they were the ones in the neighborhood and knew the particulars better than we.

The only way the slaughter could have been prevented was a bear-hug, long-term occupation. The German people especially owe their European bretheren the use of their military to do good for once. They should have sent in the Bundeswehr to stop it.

Being the wimps that they are, the Eurof*gs instead just stood idly by. [Remember Sarajevo, when the 'peacekeepers' just got out of the way so that 'militias' could come in and kill people trying to get a loaf of bread?]

Of course, the UN was totally useless also.

Finally this was even too much for the likes of Clinton, who took the politically 'safe' route of bombing Slobodon's cardboard tanks. Anyone with remote military knowledge knows that bombs do not take or hold territory.

Ultimately however, this is a European shame.

No, there were not. Hey Bubba, is that you or is Hillary at the keyboard today?

>>>>>>>Ultimately however, this is a European shame<<<<

At least you got one thing right. Europe was suckered into supporting terrorist thugs and their benefactor in The Oral Office and there is no easy way out now.

This is happening under EU watch .

Almost all Christian churches and cloisters burned down, desecrated or used as a public latrine:

Fabricated mass-killings? Outsiders standing idly by while people are driven from their homes and religious buildings are desecrated?

No one has refuted my basic assertion that this could have been predicted [when the Warsaw Pact regimes were about to collapse] and prevented -- and that the Europeans should have comprehensively intervened.

Even in this forum there are useless arguments as to which group is the most guilty when all of the principals have at least some innocent blood on their hands [and no, I'm not making a moral equivalency arguement]. This is precisely the mentality that led to the misery and bloodshed in the first place.

I could say 'so what,' but cannot remain aloof when confronted by piles of dead Croats, Serbs, Kosovars, etc. -- most of them women and children.

Witness the Balkanization of Free Republic.
