If I’m not mistaken, they never found the “mass graves” that we were told were the reason for the war.

Rest assured, you're mistaken, as not only did we find mass graves containing Milosevic's victims in Kosovo, but the Serbs found one themselves on the grounds of their Secret Police training grounds in Belgrade, which contained 800 or so victims which were transported there by Serbian forces in a failed effort to hide the evidence of their crimes.

Further, the reason for our and NATO's involvement can be traced to Bush the Elder's warning to Milosevic not to use military force against civilians in Kosovo, he ignored our warning, we responded as we said we would.

Had the Serbs made a good faith effort to address the crimes perpetrated by their forces in Kosovo, independence would have been a much harder sell, but as it is, Belgrade is content to appeal to law and order only when their politicians perceive it to be in their interest, a short sighted policy which has cost them, and continues to cost them dearly.

It seems that everything I’ve read states the Albanians were the invading force, and while the Serb’s methods were anything but humane, they were defending themselves. Further, since the cease of hostilities the Serbs have been on the receiving end of the genocidal stick while the world stands by and watches. Again I will defer to many on knowledge of the issue, but all sources I have read paint this picture.
Thanx Bill
