The 100,000 figure is not limited to Kosovo, as I'm sure you realized unless you're just dense. The figure is for the entire period in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo since Milosevic first initiated his campaign of ethnic cleansing in 1991. The Kosovo Albanian "uprising" touted by the Serbs as justification for their actions, started after Milosevic revoked Kosovo's autonomous rule in 1984 and instituted a Serbian enforced "apartheid" in Kosovo, with the ethnic Albanians relegated to the status of non-citizens with no rights in their own homeland.
To suggest that the Kosovo conflict is not connected with the previous "ethnic cleansings" by Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia is like saying Ted Bundy was not a serial killer, that he was only a single time killer forty times over and that any connection between his various victims was only coincidental.
P.S. Your continuing insistance to minimalize the number of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo is straight out of the Serbian propaganda guide. They hope to negate Albanian demands to live free in their own homelands by claiming that the 1.8 million Albanian Kosovars don't really exist and that their claim to a homeland is preempted by the Serb's claim of losing a battle on that same land 600 years ago, even though the Serbs compose only a small percentage of the Kosovar population.
If the Serbs have a legitimate claim to Kosovo based on losing a battle there, then I guess the entire area around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania actually belongs to the heirs of Confederate soldiers. |
