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.

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.
