opposing the serb security forces does not mean supporting the kla.  yes there
are kosovar and albanian fascists.  there are those who long for a greater
albania as well as those who struggle for a greater serbia.  but what is your
point?  kosovars are not driving serbs from their homes and possibly (probably)
killing many.  it is not albanian security forces that are committing the
atrocities.  in this volkswandering (like on the trains to the death camps)
some of those caught in the net will be guilty of many sins;  murders, rapists,
thieves, as well as the innocent have been affected.  so what?

again, so what?  if you are maintaining that the serb atrocities in kosovo were
somehow justified or legitimized by your warped view of albanian fascist
activities, then you are no more than an apologist for the serbs.  and you are
not consistent.  you absolve the serbian people as a whole for any
responsiblity for the treatment of albanians by serb security forces yet you
constantly refer to the most extreme postitions taken by kla members and use
them to represent the views of the kla and kosovars as a whole.  this is unfair
and inaccurate.

Elie Wiesel (holocaust survivor) says that he never believed that he would live
to see another european state do what serbia has done with impunity.  unlike
Wiesel (who can speak with far more moral authority than either you or i) i do
not support the bombing; but i will continue to speak against the smears and
lies of the killers.
