How many Americans know, for example, that far more Serbs have been driven from their homes and made refugees than any other group in this conflict?

Really? I was unaware - why don't we take the 800,000 Kosovar Albanians, subtract the 250,000 Kosovar Serbs, and the 500,000 Serbs from Croatia, and I'll spot you the 50,000 for our refugee comparison in Bosnia?

Do you really want to stand by such an ignorant misstatement of the truth of the matter?

Well Hoplite,
take a somewhat longer view. The Albanians have been forcing Serbs to leave Kosovo for far longer than the period covered by the present unpleasantness.

BTW, I am not particularly a Serbian partisan. My point is that there is plenty of guilt for atrocities on all sides in this conflict. Thus, IMHO, it was wrong for us to side with the Bosnians, who are plenty bad enough, and particularly with the Albanians.

Bill Clinton's and Tony Blair's 'Wag the Dog' foreign policy will take generations to repair in this region.

I knew you would defend your favoured organisation.
