How about Macedonia? If it does go under (and most think it would-if bombing continues 300,000 more Kosovars will be there before July) Hindsight?

"Slob's Police forces were already inside Kosovo murdering, raping, looting and driving the Kosovo Albanians from their homes. He was also massing forces on the Kosovo border." This theory that a genocide was already going on before the bombing started is a fabrication put forward by shameless politicians trying to cover their rear and popularity. Some atrocities were going on, there is little doubt about it, but the total number of deaths in the conflict prior to March 24, (Serbs and Albanians), as reported by this US administration, was estimated a 2000. (I am quoting these figures from memory, and anyone is welcome to correct me if wrong.) Milosevic is a rotten human being, and yes, some Serb paramilitary groups have Nazi like tactics. This being said, some of our Western politicians are shameless propagandists, and we sink to Milosevic' level when we refuse to have all the facts presented for fear of looking incompetent. The fact that these politician's intentions were by and large honorable will not protect them from the judgment of history.
