KOSOVO Recognized Independent State, Why?

I’m not sure what is going on in Kosovo and why the U.S. and certain NATO allies have gone ahead and recognized what will be a fundamentalist Islamic state in the heart of old Europe.
Kosovo is a province in Serbia made up mostly of Albanian Muslims. Over the years the Albanian majority and the Serbs lived somewhat peaceably with a lot of welfare like subsidy from the Yugoslav government. In the winter of 1998 with the Balkans falling apart NATO claimed that the government in Belgrade was oppressing the Kosovo Albanians with over 100,000 killed. This all led to NATO bombing on March 24th 1999 civilian and military Serbian targets because, it claimed, this was the only way to stop widespread ethnic cleansing against Albanians by the Yugoslav government.
Many observers say it must be true the Serbs committing genocide because of the huge rush of Albanians fleeing during the spring of 99. What they fail to explain is the 100k plus Serbs who also fled and reports that the Albanians were being forced out by the terrorist KLA. What it really looks like was Serb forces cracking down on Islamic terrorist KLA who are allied and supported by Al Qaeda. We were bombing the wrong people,
I have read many articles from both sides and have failed to find any hard evidence that ethnic cleansing by the Serbs in massive numbers was true. In fact with Milosevic who was locked up for a war crime trial at the Haque, I have not found anything where NATO can point to one Albanian murdered in Kosovo by Belgrade forces. What there are is many acts of aggression by the KLA terrorists against the Kosovo Serb minority. What also is fact is that the Kosovo Albanians, who were a minority in Serbia, but a majority in Kosovo, and where in control of all Kosovo institutions, including the government, the police, the educational system and others were persecuting the Kosovo Serbs, who were a minority in Kosovo. Another interesting fact is that during WWII there was an alliance of the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo with the German Nazis against the Serbs, Jews, and Roma (Gypsies) of Kosovo. While on the other hand Marshall Tito’s communist Partisans who won the civil war in Yugoslavia where mostly Serbs. Serbs on balance fought against the Nazis, whether as Partisans or Chetniks. The Chetniks were politically and morally ambiguous; they were guilty of gruesome atrocities in reprisal to those committed by the Ustashe, and though never truly allied with the Nazis they did not consistently oppose them either, which eventually caused the Allied powers to switch their support to the Partisans who, though having the handicap of being communists, were nevertheless attractive for being staunchly and actively anti-Nazi. The Partisans were also multi-ethnic and had a dogmatically explicit ideology of ethnic tolerance. Even at the end of the war they were also mostly Serbs.

So with the recognition of the new independent state we will not win the hearts and minds of the Islamic horde as they are sworn to Jihad but we have angered all the orthodox Christians in the area and the Russians.
