No. 800,000  Kosovars were expelled *after* Belgrade was bombed. There was a
sequence of historical events, Nathan. One thing came before the other. You
seem to think it's like Latin sentence formation where you can shuffle the
word order any way you like and it comes out meaning the same thing. *First*
Serbia was bombed, *then* 800,000 Kosovars were expelled. (Actually, 1
million were expelled).

Or, as the British OSCE monitor in Kosovo told the Hague court the other
day:

"My opinion was that up until the moment that we drove out of Kosovo on the
20th of March, I came across no indications that there was a plan to expel
the civilian population. I was absolutely clear that there was a plan to
deal with the KLA which would involve bringing in reinforcements of the
Yugoslav Army and those reinforcements had started to arrive before we left.
But I was not-I saw no evidence that such a plan to expel the civilian
population existed as at 20th March."
