On June 17, 1999 The Guardian reports that an estimated 10,000 Albanians have been killed in up to 130 separate massacres. Where are all the bodies???
Hashim Thaci, one of the commanders of the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) told German TV ZD that 100,000 people were massed by the Serbian forces in the Pristina stadium. A worker cleaning the broken glass said that "no one has entered the stadium for a long time, since there is not much to see there."
Wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, WRONG ENEMY!

Dear Andy:

The schizophrenic nature of the West's response to terrorist is part of the reason we are having to face this threat now and why we will have a difficult problem eliminating it. On the one hand, we say terror is a great evil and bad, but on the other we legitimize former terrorists. Terrorists have been elected to the British House of Commons, have won the Nobel Peace Prize, have visited the White House, have become heads of state, etc. In essence, the West has rewarded what are in actuality war criminals. At the same time we are saying we ought to shut down terrorist organizations. Could you imagine if terror as a political weapon would have been condemned univerally from the start? I don't think we'd be even having this discussion right now.

Well, Andy--the article below tells of the Albanian bodies that the Serbs tried to hide in Serbia proper. Fit those in with the couple thousand still missing and the three thousand bodies or so bodies already found in Kosovo itself.

Andy, what is your point? Is it that the threat to regional stability and the humanitarian aspects were insufficient to justify the US/NATO action? Or that they didn't exist at all?
