Well, you're just plain wrong. It's the western mass media that has placed the blame for starting the Yugoslav wars on the Serbs. But this is not true, the blame goes all the way around, and even reaches as far as Germany and the shores of America.

Secondly, not one shred of evidence has ever surfaced of mass killing, raping, extermination, etc. by the Serbs in Kosovo. It's been 8 years and not one mass grave, not one rape camp, nothing has surfaced. Sure, the KLA did try to "fake" a couple of mass grave sites but they ALL, EVERY SINGLE ONE was uncovered as false by foreign forensics teams back in 1999-2000. Just read the UN reports yourself if you don't believe me.

The ethnic cleansing here was against the Serbs, and this is the 3rd time in the last 65 years (I bet you didn't know that). Did you ever wonder HOW a foreign immigrant population came to be the dominant demographic?

And if you still insist on demonizing the Serbs then answer these two questions.. If the Serbs are truly genocidal, why is Serbia one the most ethnically diverse countries in Europe (Serbs are only about 65% of the population in Serbia)? Secondly, if the Serbs were really intent on ethnically cleansing the Albanians, then why didn't they start with the over 100,000 albanians living in Belgrade, or the over 500,000 living in the rest of Serbia (not including Kosovo)? How do you explain those demographic FACTS with your views stated above?

And lastly, the albaninan population in Kosovo, is primarily an immigrant one. Hardly anyone there is older than 3rd or 4th generation immigrant. They CHOSE to live with Serbs..And they did so, peacefully for many decades. No one forced them to come to Serbian land. The Serbs welcomed them as guests, and now they are trying to take away the Serbian land after driving out the Serbian population.
