I think it is reasonable to conclude that everyone--the Orthodox Serbian nationalists, the Catholic Croatian nationalists, the Islamic Kosovar nationalists, and the United States forces and their NATO "allies"--engaged in atrocities. I consider bombing civilian populations an atorcity. But people like Jared Israel and Michael Chossudovsky act as apologists for Serbian brutality and atrocities. That's my basic criticism, anyway; along with their linking up to ultra-conservatives and Patriot conspiracists in a disgusting alliance of convenience.
