I have no problem with his actions to fight the Croats and the KLA. But massacring civilians? Unacceptable.

I agree that 'massacring civilians' is unacceptable, but apart from individual atrocities (which should be answered for) there is no evidence of any massacres as painted by Nato. Firstly, what the hell do you call bombing civilians for 78 days and killing and maiming thousands? It was state terrorism which massacred civilians in front of the whole world. Most of the massacre stories in Kosovo were fake, but the deaths caused by Nato can all be accounted for (as will be seen in the future).

Secondly, fighting the 'Croats and the KLA' can hardly be lumped together. One was a war, the other was an action against separatists. Next you will be rolling Bosnia and Kosovo into the same category.

As medved said and DTA illustrated: "European forensics teams walked out of Kosovo in disgust after finding a few corpses which appeared to have died natural deaths in places where the clintonistas had claimed hundreds of billions of genocide victims would be found."

This is a fact and happened very early on following the occupation, as did refusals by some Nato pilots who had a conscience about bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure. After all, that is a war crime, or hadn't you heard?

What I find most interesting about your correspondents' statements is that while they blame Milosevic they claim not to hold an animus against Serbs per se and even recognize that the other side committed atrocities. I'll take that at face value, and I welcome it as a change from the unrelentingly one-sided depiction over the past decade of the Serbs as uniquely evil and their adversaries as poor innocent victims.

As for Mr._card's claim that the NATO-KLA alliance was one of convenience only, it ignores the documentation that western military forces -- admittedly German and British, not US as far as I can tell -- were training the KLA in 1998, long before the phony "genocide" started. Moreover, every time the KLA got its clock cleaned by Serb forces (e.g., in August and October 1998), NATO stepped in to impose a cease-fire and (in October) a Serb military withdrawal that allowed its pet proxies to live and fight another day. NATO didn't reluctantly ally itself with the KLA to "save" the "Kosovars" from "genocide". Rather, NATO and the KLA were in bed from the get-go.

Statements to the contrary now are nothing more than CYA. Let's face it, the KLA has proven an embarrassment and is fast becoming a threat, so now it's expedient to pretend that the marriage was one of convenience instead of mutual lust for Serbian blood.

As for massacres, I'll pay attention when Messrs _card and Ranger show as much outrage over the mass graves in Afghanistan populated by Talibans who were suffocated by America's allies there.
