There was mass slaughter happening, but that had NOTHING to do with why the US went in.

Did you know that the Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo were being aided by Osama Bin Laden? In fact one of the current "guests" of Guantanamo, charged with being a member of "Al Qaeda" fought in Kosovo alongside the KLA.

Funny how the US and "Al Qaeda" were allies in 1999, but by 2001 they were arch enemies, huh?

The fact is, the US stirred up Muslim fundementalism in the Balkans the same way they stirred it up in Afghanistan and the Middle East. To act as proxy soldiers in battles against Russian supported regimes, and to act as excuses for US involvement.

Dead Muslims meant nothing to the US government then or and they mean nothing now - all that matters is the geostrategic "great game".
