Forum Lurker:

I'd hardly call the outcome "ideal," Oldguy. True, the killing was eventually stopped, but many Kosovars lost their lives before NATO took any action, and many more when NATO committed itself to a strictly air campaign, using no land troops, or even helicopters. A strategy of minimal military casualties increased the civilian dath toll.

My words were "almost ideal".

Are you blaming the deaths before Nato took action on Nato?

It sounds like you complain because they did not take action and then you complain when they did, a lose / lose situation.

Do you think the Kosovars are not grateful that someone helped them?

Sure, some died due to the military action, absolutely sure many more lived that would not have if nobody had taken any action.
