Ted, I too read a article from what appears to be a French rag claiming that the mass graves are a lie. Not a lie, exaggeration. If the premise or justification of the invasion is that there is a genocide going on, that there is a systematic, government sponsored extermination of entire population under way, and then, all you find are some graves with single digit to 10s dead the premise is completely wrong. There was a guerilla war going on with modest casualties prior to bombing, and after the invasion, there are some isolated acts of terror by individuals (not necessarily government sponsored), the premise was wrong. What confuses the issue is when people do not separate what happened prior to the US bombing and what happened after. You cannot justify the start of the bombing by something that happened later as the result of the bombing. The Albania population of Kosovo were citizens of Yugoslavia, with some bad apples (bin Laden sponsored KLA). Now, when the a group of the population commits treason by inviting foreign invaders, the rules become different. What to me was exceedingly scary was the flimsiness of the evidence supporting the invasion of a sovereign country, which didn't have any hostile intentions toward the US. If that is the precedent, the US would be justified in invading 9 out of every 10 countries in the world, including Canada, Spain, Turkey, UK, Ireland. The resulting hostility of the Russia and China (among others)are perfectly logical to me. Joe
