My purpose was not to write comprehensive essays

Obviously, since you have not backed up anything you said. Here's a court transcript of a mother describing how Serb police herded a group of Albanian civilians into a coffee shop and opened fire, killing her children, among others. In your world-view, that's worth applauding. Her testimony starts on page 7902:

Then it stopped, the shooting, and then I looked up and I saw Vjollca was still alive and said, "Oh, Shyhrete, look what they're doing to us." I said, "Look at, look at Dafina, see where she is." And I looked around and I saw Dafina, Vjollca's daughter. She was suffering. And the daughter of Musli Berisha said, "Oh, look what they've done to me. Look at my feet, look at my legs," she screamed.

And then the brother-in-law of Hajdini said, "Look at my poor Granit. Look what they've done to him ... Then Majlinda spoke, my largest daughter. She was uninjured, with her son and brothers. And Sebahate was uninjured with her two children. Ismet was 3 and Eron was ten months old. And Altin was near me. He was ten years old. We were uninjured. ...Then Majlinda said, "Mummy, mummy, look at how they've killed Herolinda." And when I looked around, I saw Herolinda over there and saw her, that she was lying on the ground with five or six bullet holes in her flesh. She had been such a beautiful girl. And Sebahate on the other side said, "Look. They've killed -- they've killed her. They've killed Jori [phoen] and Sherine." Sherine was a brother-in-law, and the other one was his brother. ... I pretended I was dead. And my son Altin and Vjollca, I said to them, "Lie as if you're dead." Because we heard the Serbs talking in their language, saying, "Get the trucks ready and get the bodies out of here as quickly as possible."

10 MS. ROMANO: The witness and two other survivors and the corpses of the dead were then loaded onto a truck which drove off in the direction of Prizren. Two gold chains were removed from around her neck. The witness, although severely wounded, managed to jump off the truck in the village of Malsia e Re (Ljutoglav) where some Albanians took care of her. She was taken to Grejkoc and subsequently Budakova, where she received medical treatment for her wounds. Her husband and four children - two daughters and two sons - were killed in Suva Reka.

So Pythagorean, how much did your friends get for the gold chains?

Mark, I have never claimed that widespread atrocities were not committed by Serbian forces, as they are committed in every war and especially in a guerilla/terrorist - type war like this one. I have no personal or professional connection with the former Yugoslavia and I am dispassionately looking beyond the atrocities at the political motives of the parties involved in the war. Many activists, presumably including yourself, are honest and have legitimate emotional personal reasons for insisting obsessively on "Serb atrocities" while avoiding discussing the political context of the war. Others, like dozens of Soros-related organizatioons and thousands of well-financed activists, have more sinister motives, including their attempt to cover-up their role in promoting the war and reaping financial benefits (e.g. controlling the Trepca mines or making their careers in the "humanitarian" and "international law" industries).

If I am "parroting" anyone here, it is Crosland. I repeat that he was a de facto ally of the KLA and (no doubt as a Belgrade UK military attaché) up to the neck personally involved in the war against Yugoslavia. When this Blair-serving diplomat/spy openly describes his KLA allies as terrorists, you have to take this assertion very seriously and advocate that the KLA leadership be indicted by ICTY as all the Serbian leadership has been. Where is your indignation against these organized, leadership-sponsored crimes against loyalist Albanian and Serb civilians?
