You are missing a vital fact here. This all took place within Serbia where the KLA had been murdering policemen and civilians for many years in a bid to annex territory. You make it sound like this was two sides of a war. This was a terrorist group trying to separate territory from a sovereign nation.

Agreed. And the Serbs were justified in cracking down on the KLA. But they weren't justified in going into villages, lining up all the men and boys against brick walls, and shooting them. Nor were they justified in forcing 800,000 people, mostly civilians, out of their homes and into exile.

The KLA was acting as Nato's land army and the propaganda was massive

Nato and the KLA cooperated, but only because of the old maxim, "my enemy's enemy is my friend." You cannot justly blaim the US for the crimes of the KLA, any more than you can the US for the crimes of Abdulrashid Dostum.

Nor were they justified in forcing 800,000 people

The whoppers just keep coming and coming don't they.....
1) First as KLA Commander Remi's PR guy admitted twice (once on BBC interview, second in Newspaper interview), just in one area of Kosovo (the Llap ZO) the KLA expelled 220,000 Albanian civilians during Clinton's bombing Remi and his entire crew have been arrested for murdering Albanian women and children.

2) Your statment is contradicted by numerous US & English reporters on the ground. Watson of the LA Times and Jacky Rowland of the BBC both reported interviewing civilains and being told their were no expulsions.

3) Finally, the '800,000' implies that somehow civilians will simply stay put when there are 1,000's of war planes flying overhead and a huge NATO ground invasion is being talked about. Clinton's bombers hit enough civilians targets for the locals to be darned scared. It is boggles the mind that one could believe Clinton's lie that people stay put when they are being cluster bombed.
