I'm not disagreeing with them, I just wanted to point that out.

Well I've supplied 2 different UN reports, two CNN reports, and a history from a college professor. Paratrooper has been calling each one of these reports not credible. I was at the library today looking for a new book for Paratrooper to call an unreliable source and I found this one:
Conflict in the Former Yugoslavia: An Encyclopedia, by John B. Allcock, Marko Milivojevic, and John J. Horton, Editors
Copyright 1998
Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data
Quote:
"Ethnic cleansing" was a keystone of Serbian policy toward Kosovo from the very start. In the 1920s and 1930s, indeed up to 1960, hundreds of thousands of Albanians were forcibly expelled from their homeland, mostly to Turkey, under the absurd pretext that they wer Turks; Serbian colonists were more than willing to occupy and settle the newly vacated farmlands.
.....
In the autumn of 1991, teaching at the University of Pristina was suspended, with the exception of courses reserved for students from the Serbian minority, and all Albanian professors were expelled. Albanian-language elemnatary and secondary schools have been closed down. Nowhere in Europe, with the exception of Bosnia-Herzegovina, have human rights been so flagrantly and so systematically violated as in Kosovo.
.....
The situation boiled over in March 1998 when a Serb military offensive in Drenica led to the slaying of dozens of Albanians, including women and children.

OK,
Paratrooper, have at it please. Please tell me why this history is not to be believed. Thank you.
