Tough to make the SW USA to Kosovo analogy until we start sending our police, our Army, and our ex-cons in little private paramilitary bands on rampages of robbing, raping, killing and burning down the houses of Hispanic-Americans.<<<<
Just to make one thing clear.
Do you want to say that Serbian government sent "police, Serbian Army, and Serbian ex-cons in little private paramilitary bands on rampages of robbing, raping, killing and burning down the houses of Kosovo Albanians" and Haradinaj &Co. acted in self-defense?
If your answer is "YES" regardless of the established facts, think again.
Think of WACO,Tx and RUBY RIDGE when Clinton and Rhino sent what you described to kill American citizens who WERE NOT TERRORISTS like HAradinaj and Co..
Americans were killed for not obeying U.S. law., not because they committed the acts of terrorism.
DTA, the issue was never about legitimate Serb actions against Haradinaj and the KLA. As documented in the December 1999 U.S. Government Report:
Ethnic Cleansing in Kosovo-An Accounting, the problems were Forcible Displacement of Ethnic Albanian Civilians, Summary Executions, Looting of Homes and Businesses, Widespread Burning of Homes, Use of Human Shields, Arbitrary Detentions, Rape, Violations of Medical Neutrality, and Identity Cleansing; to borrow the sub-headings for the report. Go to the link and you can get the details about the million plus Albanians forced from their homes by the Serbs, the 500 burned villages and so on.
