Do you mean that the rest of Europe is unfairly targeting Serbia with a series of small- to medium-sized wars? Or do you mean that Kosovo was the culmination of years of Serbian bad behavior and the NATO intervention (in defiance of the UN Security Council) is therefore worthy of approval?</p> <p>I’m reading you as saying the latter, in which case I agree and at disagree at the same time. On the one hand, clear war crimes and crimes against humanity by Serbia. So clear case for intervention. *BUT* the UN didn’t come on board (thanks, Russia) which made it a NATO decision. NATO is not the kind of multilateral institution I want making decisions about military interventions in countrues. Its representation is insufficiently diverse, and it’s primarily a military — not political — outfit.</p> Sara: Not sure what you’re getting at.

First in 89 a short war with Slovinia, then a much longer war with Croatia, involving serb ethnic cleansing of Croatians from the Krajina, subsequently the laying waste to towns in Slavonia, followed by the Bosnian war, fought with several proxi militias — and only then do you get to Kosovo. Serbia has in fact lost four wars since 1989 — at some point it has to become apparent that the rest of Europe is not attracted to the cause for which the Serbs fought.</p> ifaustus, I think with regard to Serbia you have to add it up.
