Why are we there? What interests of ours does being there serve? How exactly do we benefit by being in Kosovo?

We shouldn’t have been involved in the first place. And if we had a president with real leadership qualities at the time, we might not have been.

Hello again. I was finally reading through all the posts. I agree that we shouldn’t fight other people’s wars. That being said, the Balkans, and more specifically Albania, offer and important strategic location for the U.S. It takes a long time to develop relationships that allow those strategic locations to be exploited and we have to make friends before we get to have a picnic in their backyards. Albania and Kosovo have been “free” from communism for less than 20 years. We are now making good inroads with the Poles, 60 years after the fact.
