Serbia and Kosovo are part of a sovereign country called Yugoslavia. We attacked it without any provocation on their part.

Yugoslovia........which was breaking up after Tito died. Serbia was attacking its neighbors including Kosovo and committing atrocities. Milosevic was a cruel dictator who was bent on keeping the breakup from happening. At the same time, Yugoslavian troubles were causing instability in NATO's backyard. We've been through this before........inevitably you will get annoyed with me.

Read the article from the right's favorite magazine.....I think it will make things clearer to you:

Balkanized: the wonder is not that Serbia attacked kosovo, but that it waited so long.

Iraq was a country of limited sovereignty (limited by ceasefire agreement they signed and UN resolutions) that we attacked without any immediate or recent provocation on their part.

Agreed and they were not threatening those countries who neighbor it and with whom we have alliances.
