>> The way you wrote it sounded as if you were saying "a few thousand" was a description of the entire population concerned in the Kosovo conflict <<

i think the miscommunication stems from the fact that the terrorist imperial war-mongers would like us to believe that because a couple thousand are killed that means all ethnic albanians are targeted for ethnic cleansing.

i suppose we could use that same logic to get together with NATO and start world war three by bombing russia and china. after all russia slaughters people in chechnya and china has killed thousands of dissidents. we better carpet bomb chinese and russian civilians and then impose economic sanctions to prevent "ethnic cleansing" in those countries (or regions if you will) too!

>> On the other hand, "only a few thousand" died in NYC and the DC area. Again, is the number all that matters? <<

um...no! what matters is that many americans died. i believe we are justified in going to war to protect our own citizens. we are not justified in inserting ourselves in a civil war where their is no vital u.s. interest and killing has been going on by both sides for centuries. i trust you can see the difference.
