Don't be in awe, because there are many parallels to Iraq today. At the time "European intellectuals" argued, as you do now, that there was no genocide occurring. The same intellectuals argued that the fleeing Albanian were doing so to escape war, despite that fact that the refugees were telling the world they were forced out. Recall, European Intellectuals disputed satallite photos of mass graves as so much U.S. nonsense and that there were other explanations for the lines and lines of turned earth. I think a sewage systems is what one "intellectual" suggested. But most important parallel was the soveriengty argument, there was a despot in power, inflaming the region, killing loads and loads of people, raping masses of muslim women and European Intellectuals argued to maintain the status quo as they do now, for the sake of protecting sovereingty.
