The OSCE report makes this quite clear. Kosovo is a place where the alienation and fear between two communities was fed for years by lies, rumors and false accusations. Serbs genuinely feared Albanians, and Albanians genuinely feared Serbs, often on the basis of wild rumor. The first thing outside mediators should have done was to sponsor a patient, serious and fair effort to establish the truth. On the contrary, by endorsing every accusation against Serbs, and ignoring crimes against Serbs, the United States and its NATO allies have given carte blanche to violence against them.
War is the worst evil.
By bringing war to Kosovo, NATO brought out the worst in a certain number of Serbs, and the worst in a certain number of Albanians. The screeching noise, the terrifying explosions, the fires, the destruction are administered from a safe distance. Then the observers go in and take notes. Kosovo is more than ever a dangerous place, a land of hatred. The biggest overseas United States base since Vietnam has been built in Kosovo.
