Pictures To Help Explain Things Further



This picture shows the no stability or progress five years after the NATO intervention.

Reader Involvement:
I did a lot of research on the effects of the NATO stepping in, and I found out that them bringing war only did more destruction. What are your views on the matter?



Despite peace protests, the violence went on after the public called for powerful and immediate action by the international community to stop "ethnic cleansing".

Reader Involvement:
I researched many examples of peaceful protests and I found out that even though the international community said that they understood and were going to help, not much came to them. I can't figure out why, do you have any ideas?



The "ethnic cleansing" in Yugoslavia was mainly shown through vicious hatred, violence, sexually commited crimes and other forms of hate crimes. In this photo, a young Bosnian Muslim man is doused with water by two Serb police after being thrown out a window.

Reader Involvement:
Many of the ways that "ethinic cleaning" was being done were so horrible and morbid. Do you think I should post some pictures of these crimes, even though they are disturbing, so that you can get a better understanding of what was happening to ensure "ethnic cleansing"?



This picture is one of a Serb woman with her child in Kosovo during the summer of 1999. This is what is left of their once 11 member family. After the Serbs invaded their city, only these two escaped, thankful for their lives.

Reader Involvement:
Many family members who lost those who they loved claimed they wished they were one of the dead, so that they wouldn't have to live without their loved ones, or see the destruction that was done. Which side do you take? Would you rather live to know your family is all dead and to see all the destrustion with all the added horrors, or be one of the thousands who died?
