Wasn't Milosevic the head honcho, knew about what was going on, and did nothing about it, thus encouraging it.

Using your logic...
How many jews did Hitler actually kill, I mean actually pull the trigger and kill them himself?

???

I was composing a reply to the post you just replied to, explaining about the one-sidedness of the arguement if that's what you mean?

Cheers,

I take it you have never watched Mayberry, Andy was the sheriff and Barney Fife was the skinny dweeb deputy that was notorious for shooting himself in the foot, thus he was not allowed to have a loaded weapon...

That was government BS. Milosevic didn't not perform genocide on anyone. The Albanians wanted their own state which they had NO RIGHT to do. There was a war and people died. It happens all the time. This time it was labeled as "genocide". It was funny when they couldn't find any mass graves and it is also funny that Kosovo is a terrorist state which supports Osama Bin Laden. I wonder what the US would think if all the Irish in America banded together to make their own country in say New York. What a crock. Same goes with Russia who were bad mouthed by the US for attacking the poor little chechen terrorists. http://www.tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfo/russia/

Mass graves depends on your description of "mass". 10,000's found no. Lots of smaller graves of ~100 yes. Would there have been more Albanian deaths if the war hadn't happened - IMHO undoubtably. Lets also not forget the ~800,000 Albanians "moved on" by Milosevic.

WRT Russia/Chechyna - there's been bad blood there for years, from both sides. Let us not forget that as well as the Chechen terrorism, Russia has done its best to flatten large swathes of Grozny and other centres of "resistance" in Chethyna - and from what I can tell without much thought for the civilian population. The Chetchen terrorists may not be "poor" or "little" but I for one do not either condone the actions of the Russian army in reckless operations against them.

No thanks, I get enough bad information on here and don't have to click on their site.

"Why does everyone hate the kurds so much?"

It is a human trait to hate, kill, oppress, and or enslave, any person or persons who are perceived to be different.

So, what does everyone think of the terrorism the Kurds commit? Or is that OK? There arent many groups there I would want as my neighbor. Be careful who you back. Bin Laden was a good guy not long ago.

If we don't slip them the high hard one then stick a knife in their back like Bush 41 did we should be ok with them.

maybe because they're busy working with al-qaeda.

i love how the media though, calls them "non-iraqi", instead of kurds, because kurds are supposed to be our friends!

I don't think the Kurds are hated for being Kurds(ala Jews), they are hated for their attempts at establishing Kurdistan. Turkey, Iraq, and Iran would lose territory if Kurdistan were established to suit the Kurds desire.

That's funny, the Russian media focuses solely on civilian casualties in their coverage of the war...

Kurdistan would contain oil fields and plenty of water. I don't see any harm in it's formation, you don't exactly hear about too many kurdish extremists blowing up civilians now do you?
You may not hear about it, but it certainly happens. The PKK/KADEK are a Kurdish terrorist organization probably operating out of Iran, attacking Turkey.
