There is considerable doubt whether there would have been any massacres in 
Kosova if there had been no NATO intervention. Credible doubts have been 
raised about whether that caused the massacre, at least occasioned it. It's 
now established that contrary to the NATO story justifying the intervention, 
there was no large scale killing before the intervention. That makes the 
story a bit different from the Soviet/Nazi case, where, btw, it is bizarre 
to describe the Soviet defense against the Nazi invaders as as 
"intervention." If Iraq had invaded the US, killed millions of our citizens, 
devastated our neighbors, etc., and carried out massacres of its own people 
on a huge scale, it would be a different story. jks
