Help! Does anyone know approximately how many civilians were killed in the bombing of Yugoslavia?

I am involved in a hot and heavy discussion on a Russian bulletin board about the bombing of Chechnya. There are those who want to go further -- to carpet bomb the place, to pour napalm all over it, use poison gas on it, even nukes...When anyone objects to the mass murder of the civilian population, you generally get one of the two following responses:

1) Well, "they" blew up "our" people in the Moscow & Volgodonsk apartment bombings: an eye for an eye...

2) Billy bombed the hell out of Yugoslavia, killing zillions of Serbs, so why shouldn't we kill zillions of Chechens?

Just for comparison's sake, I'd like to have a better idea of the total number of civilian casualties in the Yugoslavia "campaign." Anybody?
