Protest Against the War in the Balkans
The US/NATO war campaign has turned a crisis into a catastrophe in the Balkans:

It has increased the Serbian government's repression of the Kosovar Albanians, inflaming the Serbian government's ethnic cleansing in the province that has forced people from their homes and created a humanitarian disaster.

It is killing Serbian and Kosovar civilians. The bombing raids are disrupting food supplies, water supplies, and medical supplies for the civilian population. NATO's urban bombing campaign amounts to a direct targeting of civilians.

It has strengthened Milosevic within Serbia. As the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights said: "The air strikes erased in one night the results of ten years of hard work of groups of courageous people in the non-governmental organizations and in the democratic opposition."

It is hypocritical. The U.S. does not know what's best for the region. In fact, past U.S. meddling has helped initiate the current crisis.
