...probably seems so unfathomable as not to be worthy of their “enlightened” discourse. To them, America’s failure to adequately defend Bosnia in the early 1990s demonstrates our religious bias against Muslims, while the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia to protect the Kosovar Muslims is a display of U.S. attempts at hegemony. The U.S.-imposed sanctions on Iraq are responsible for 1.5 million children’s deaths, while Saddam Hussein is absolved of responsibility for delaying the implementation of the oil-for-food program for more than two years and for accumulating...
...technology student in Belgrade. "And if we get some money on top for sending him there, that's even better." Part of Djindjic's strategy was to prime the public for Milosevic's transfer by releasing reports of police discoveries of mass graves within Serbia containing bodies of Kosovar civilians executed by Serb soldiers during the nato air war. Most shocking was the revelation that security forces in April 1999 destroyed a refrigerated truck dredged from the River Danube that held dozens of Albanian corpses.

...reality. And that would inevitably force NATO, against all its instincts and inclinations, to escalate its own involvement. The reason is not only because of the insurgency's roots in Kosovo - the policing of which, is, after all, NATO's responsibility - but also because Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and the Kosovar Albanians, among others, all maintain an active interest in the fate of the fragile Macedonian state. A full-scale war over Macedonia's borders is very unlikely to be confined to Macedonians...
