What rubbish. Firstly Americans did not get into WW2 until Pearl Harbor. They were not in Europe fighting Hitler in 1939,1940 or 1941. There may have been a few volunteers who served with the Canadians or British. Milosovic is not a Hitler but only because he is the leader of a small country, Serbia. If he had the might of a 1930's Germany behind him then he would be a Hitler. It is just a degree of size. There is no doubt that there are war crimes in Kosovo against Kosavars. Forcing people to leave their country, destroying their identity papers, raping and executing people is genocide. It is Lebensraum, it is perhaps 1% of the mayhem caused by Hitler, but it is still wrong. As usual you AMericans think it is just your forces over there, this is a NATO operation. When I visited England during the early days of the Gulf war in 1991, the British TV kept going on about the British Tornado bombers. There was not much mention about Americans then.
