, Turns Back Home in Midair Senate Votes to Support Air Strikes Against Yugoslavia Text of NATO Chief's Statement on Airstrikes Against Yugoslavia Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company Children's Privacy Notice . . THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS On the 72nd day of NATO's air war against Yugoslavia, President Slobodan Milosevic accepted an international peace plan to end the Kosovo conflict and allow nearly 1 million ethnic Albanian refugees to return to what is left of their homes. NATO BOMBING On March 24th, NATO forces opened an assault on Serbia. President Clinton denounced the Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic, for feeding the "flames of ethnic and religious division" in Kosovo and endangering neighboring countries.

"Whether we like it or not, we have to recognize that we are on the brink of a major humanitarian disaster in Kosovo, the likes of which have not been seen in Europe since the closing stages of World War II," NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said. One Kosovo official estimated the number of displaced could exceed 1 million. Serbians "are continuing their policy of ethnic cleansing on a grand scale," Bajram Gecha of the Kosovo Crisis Committee told CNN on Sunday. Refugees pouring into border states Sunday gave repeated accounts of Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians. Shea expressed concern that the majority of refugees are women and children.

The Alliance repeatedly claimed that it was not fighting on behalf of the Albanians, despite the fact that the only beneficiaries of the 1999 operation were the Albanians. Nato loudly condemned Albanian terrorism but somehow managed to bomb only Yugoslav military targets. The war was also supposed to protect the multi-ethnic character of Kosovo, but Nato was ultimately unable to prevent the exodus of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Serbs and Roma from the province. The ethnic Albanians of the province were initially unperturbed by such contradictions. But they did not reckon with two surprises - a political change in Belgrade, their main enemy, accompanied by one in Washington, hitherto their chief ally.

The man who made the statement which you see in the image above is not somebody you would ever wish to trifle with. They will have to begin by explaining what possessed them to want to throw the entire body of international law developed during this century in the toilet. There are around 4000 ethnic groups in the world, and only a couple of hundred nations. The idea of using the treatment of ethnic minorities in other nations as a pretext for aggressive wars was supposed to have died with Hitler. The thinking has always been that wars cause infinitely more harm than even the worst possible mistreatment of ethnic minorities within nations.
