" You forget who pushed this conflict, it was not the US, it was EUROPE that stood firm."

Oh... come on.... Do you really think the US was not in the driver seat ?

The threat of force (mostly US force), the Rambouillet terms, and the decision to go ahead with the bombing were decisions primarily made in the US.

The Europeans were on board, yes, but I don't think you can say that they somehow pushed the US in this conflict.

>> it was not the US, it was EUROPE that stood firm

Sorry but this was U.S. lead as is evident in:

1. 80% sorties flown by U.S. planes.
2. > 80% of military equipment is U.S.
3. Russia came to washington to negotiate; Americans are leading the politics on this.

>> A mudwrestling convention between Hutus and Tutsis?

Some mud wrestling convention, some 800,000 people died. Now that was a true holocaust and a true genocide.
