as sickening as these pictures are, we must not let our emotions dictate our judgement or decisions.

pictures do not tell the whole story. they only provide glimpses and are primarily used to provoke an emotional response.

i looked carefully at those pictures and saw only this:

1) mass graves of dead/executed men who were mostly of conscript age, some with their weapons lying beside them.
2) women/children/elderly crying and fleeing.
3) innocent old men and children who are casualties of a war.

am i to conclude that these are war crimes? yes it is a crime when innocent people are killed in war. its sad. its wrong. but both sides have had their share of innocent victims. what i have yet to see is proof of "genocide" - the deliberate extermination of ALL life in kosovo.

sorry to sound so callous. i dont mean to be. im a very kind hearted person, who also happens to be very analytical, and doesnt take everything at face value. take another good look at those pictures if you can. tell me if you can find mass graves of WOMEN/CHILDREN/ELDERLY, and not just mass graves of soldiers.

if i missed something, please tell me. if there are pictures of mass graves of executed women/children/elderly, please show me. i DO want to see the complete "picture".
