Evidence of A Serbian Campaign of Genocide?
So, is there serious evidence of a Serbian campaign of genocide in Kosovo? It's an important issue, since the NATO powers, fortified by a chorus from the liberal intelligentsia, flourished the charge of genocide as justification for bombing that destroyed much of Serbia's economy and killed around 2,000 civilians, with elevated death levels predicted for years to come. Whatever horrors they may have been planning, the Serbs were not engaged in genocidal activities in Kosovo before the bombing began. They were fighting a separatist movement, led by the KLA, and behaving with the brutality typical of security forces. One common estimate of the number of Kosovar Albanians killed in the year before the bombing is 2,500. With NATO's bombing came the flights and expulsions and charges that the Serbs were accelerating a genocidal plan; on some accounts, as many as 100,000 were already dead. An alternative assessment was that NATO's bombing was largely to blame for the expulsions and killings. Incidents in Drenica, Racack, Lybenic and Rogove generated international appeals. |

If the Serbs were not engaged in 'genocidal activities' in Kosovo, there would have been no bombing. Milosevic just thought he could get away with it. So did his psychotic thug henchmen. |

Of course genocide was being committed, Milosovich was directly responsible for promoting hatred against Kosovan Albanians (Muslims) and launching campaigns to cement Serbian nationalism. Similair to the way Hitler started with the Jewish populations of Europe. |

Makes me sad that anybody had to die, you would have thought that such hatred in the past would teach us that violence is not a way forward.
