What happened there was that the US made an "offer to Serbia that they couldn't refuse."

No, the United States made an offer to Serbia that Serbia could not accept - deliberately, in order to force a conflict. Milosevic was willing to accept UN peacekeepers, but the United States wanted Nato peacekeepers, and demanded that the Nato forces have unfettered access to all of FRY, and not just Kosovo. Milosevic could not accept this, and the United States pulled out observers despite intelligence that such an action would massively increase the problems on the ground there. And, after we bombed FRY for a couple of months, we basically came around to what Milosevic was willing to do all along. But by then, Kosovo was a wreck, and remains a wreck to this day.

Yup. Bad things happen to genocidal nazis when the Americans decide to put them out of business. Ask Saddam.

exactly........in fact Clinton abandoned each and every of his stated pre-war aims at the negotiating table. Belgrade stuck to Clinton & Clark.

Belgrade had long accepted occupation of Kosovo and Methojia under a UN mandate.

Clinton's bombing didn't change that one iota.
