That's fair and I agree with you. But what happened behind the scenes is not how the public viewed it. Don't you remember how the genocide thing was all palyed up right before Kosovo? They even alluded to Rwanda and how we all screwed up there. You are thinking in terms of gov'ts and what they were thinking all the way through it. I'm not. I'm impliying that gov'ts marched on Kosovo because of world opinion on the matter. In fact the gov'ts were embarassed by Rwanda and felt pressed to push the matter in Kosovo because I don't think they could of allowed another Rwanda to happen. They suffered a black eye in public opinion if not from guilt as I stated.

"Don't you remember how the genocide thing was all palyed up right before Kosovo?"

You are kidding, right?!

France and Germany said "No" to UN inspectors going to Kosovo to investigate the claims of alledged "mass graves".

Thus, the "genocide" spiel was only played up in the press, never in the UN.
