Nathan, that analogy qualifies you for a career in public relations. With all this talk of "moral equivalence" I feel like I'm back in the days of Reagan and Kirkpatrick.
There's a principle here, that ethnically driven murder, displacement, and appropriation is wrong, whether it's state-sponsored or "spontaneous." But the KLA's actions are symptomatic of the whole US/NATO approach to the region, which is to reinforce ethnic partitioning. That's what Bosnia's about, and that's what Kosovo is now about. Is it only wrong when Serbs do it?
Remind me how it's an act of resistance to loot Serb-owned stores.
