    Everything can be pushed or covered up by propaganda, but let's look at official census of Kosovo: Of course, you failed to mention, or didn't know, that only 50 years before the conflict, the ethnic structure was: 1953: 65% Albanians vs 23% Serbs In the eve of the 1999 bombing, it was: 1991: 82% Albanians vs 10% Serbs And after the bombing and separation: 2011: 93% Albanians vs 1.5% Serbs So, Albanians jumped from 65% to 93% and Serbs virtually disappeared from 23% to 1.5% in just 60 years. So, can you tell me - how's that explained? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Kosovo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Kosovo

      Looking at your table, from 1953 to 1991 number of serbs actually grew, it's just that number of albanians grew at a much higher rate, so their % increased. As to what happened in the next 10 years to the serbian population, I don't know, you suggesting that they were deported by the albanians?

Madeleine Albright got played by Kosovars who wanted the US to fight their revolution. What actually happened in Kosovo was grossly exaggerated both in magnitude and severity, wasn't at all one-sided, and in any case wasn't enough to justify NATO involvement on humanitarian grounds.

Bill Clinton needing short victorious war to clean his image because of the Lewinsky affair is better reason too. If the ones you mentioned were good enough - Rwanda would not have happened.
