We can talk about it when you put up a clip showing what prompted the NATO intervention. I seem to recall something about slaughtering Kosovars that brought NATO to Serbia's doorstep.
Western funded terrorists, known as the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) were committing acts of terrorism on the serbian civilians and police. As a result the serbs sent the army down there to take care of them.
Similar things, only on a far bigger scale, were going on in US allied countries, such as Turkey and Colombia. Many more people were being pushed out of their homes and many more were killed.
However, we might want to ask what about the innocent ones in Kosovo? Well, the serbs did not just attack anyone out of the blue. They only fought in places where the KLA was active - and that was by no means most of kosovo. In fact the KLA did not have support in most of Kosovo. Between 1 and 2 hundred thousand people were pushed out - people who supported KLA activity. Still, that is far less than what we see happening in Turkey and Colombia at the same time.
Serbia had a state-led economy that was against EU integration and the free market. This is why serbia was bombed. Why did the US fund the turkish assault on the kurds - because the kurdish movement, the PKK, was a communist movement. Same for colombia. It's a matter about smashing any examples that show difference to the global order that uncle same is trying to impose.
Fox news talks about this...

And here is an albanian clip glorrifying the KLA...

You can see what armed terrorists the serbs were up against. It was worse than the FLQ in quebec.
And here is the KLA taking arms from albania into serbia..

So why is this branded as a one side is good and one side is bad conflict? I'll tell you what, and General Mackenzie said this too if I am not mistaken, "We bombed the wrong side".
Our very own Michael Ignatieff has some opinions about the mission. Go read "virtual war". Interesting book.
War is crime. I can't defend it.
Our very own? You mean America's, not Canada's.
You might want to read some stuff by Chomsky, Edward Said, Scott Taylor, Michael Parenti, Michael Chossudovsky, Michael Collon, Edward Herman, or a number of many other people.
When 2,000 people have been killed on both sides, and the media in the US says it's 100,000, then wtf is going on? There have been clear lies to manipulate the public to get support into bombing the shit out of serbia - attacks that focused primarily on civilian targets, not military ones.
Ignatieff supports war. He's a jerk.
A common thing that is ignored is the aftermath of the kosovo war - the same thing in macedonia. Oh but shit, the media missed out on that one. I really wonder why his book sells for less than a dollar used - perhaps there is not much demand to buy his pro-war junk. NATO created a humanitarian catastrophe with the bombing, and Ignatieff's whole argument in the book is that there should have been more bombing? Like wtf is he smoking? It is well known that ethnic cleansing really got started, after the bombing began as a response to the bombing. The overwhelming majority of the cleansing happened after the bombing. And I can not blame the serbs for those actions, considering that their hospitals, schools, monuments and countless other civilian targets were being hit. NATO hit a train with civilians in it, and we have footage of them aiming at it. Even worse- they bombed the hell out of Kosovo itself, and dropped depleted uranium - most of which was in kosovo, and so now there are increased cancer and leukemia rates all over serbia, but especially so in kosovo.
