"I don't consider Serbia's invading* Kosovo with an overwhelming military force and attacking, murdering, robbing and raping the peaceful Albanian residents, as a civil war."* This statement is not entirely correct. Serbia did not invade Kosovo. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, which is the dominant republic left in Yugoslavia. Kosovo, the site of a bloody battle between Serbs and Turks in 1389, is considered hallowed ground by Serbs. They say they are battling terrorists who are trying to rob them of ancestral lands. Most Kosovo Albanians want Kosovo, which is 90 percent ethnic Albanian, to become an independent state. I agree with Les on this, this conflict is a guerilla civil war (or it was before NATO intervention).
