I am inclined to agree with the sentiment of this post, being an opponent of the war in Serbia back in the 90's. However, that being said, I don't think it makes the point it's trying to make.
So, against that country, the US gov't unleashed a campaign of savage bombing,
including bombing the private residence of that country's leader. And, one
faithful day, some remote-controlled little planes, carrying thousands of
pounds of high explosives, flew through the windows of the local TV station and
exploded inside killing lots of totally innocent civilians, including men,
women and children too.
Every reference I can find to the attack on the TV station (which has been questioned internationally as to whether it was a war crime) says that the building was hit with missiles, not airplanes.
Now if there is new evidence that I haven't seen before that the attack was actually carried out with airplanes, then a link would be nice, because that's truly news.
If the claim is that "missiles are just little airplanes, after all, and attacking people is evil no matter how you do it", then the claim that this was "the first experiment of airplanes flying into buildings" is nonsensical. Clearly missiles have been used to attack buildings before.
