First off, lets remember who greeted us with flowers during their liberation and who didn't. Albanians in Kosovo welcomed the US and Brits with flowers when we entered kosovo. Next lets talk about "war crimes" both sides committed attrocities against each other, there is no question about that. I have served lengthy tours in kosovo, and I will say that 95% of the albanian muslim population (not all albanians are muslim) enjoy and love the united states. Having seen numerous hotels, and resteraunts named after our cities and generals their hospitality can't be found in any other country we have troops actively patrolling and conducting SASO (stability and support operations and war). Serbians disgraced the entire geneva conventions, the law of war, and fought like a band of communist heathens. Lining up women, children to be raped, and murdering the men is how cowards fight. Its a disgrace to any uniformed soldier. Albanians themselves fought and committed attrocities, but they were more worried about defending their tiny villages. I have spent years working with Serbs and Albanians, and I will say that Albanians were claming to me about how to go and fight in Iraq. They differ on ideals and opinions of the Arabs and Wahabist. Many albanians do serve in Iraq with the Albanian contigent and fight along side americans. I didn't see flowers being thrown at our troops when we liberated baghdad. Serbians, on the other hand supported and actively shared intelligence with Saddam Hussein. You can't take sides in the balkans because they were both equally at fault for war crimes, but I will say that Albanians come no where CLOSE to al-qaeda. Infact, any time we would hear of al-qaeda types or extremist, the locals would pin point them out and tell the americans. They dont want anything to do with them. European muslims and orthodox albanians see them as destroying their westernized ideals. I am really sick and tired of hearing about this clinton-alqaeda-kosovo link because its minimal. Foreign fighters can be found everywhere, but that doesn't mean the entire population supports them. When war broke in kosovo it was hard to keep tabs on people, groups, and resistance movements they had no structured government, just bombed out villages and squalors that no american would even dare step foot into. Before you guys keep posting all these "facts" and sources read deeper into where they are coming from because for the most part albanians support the US and our war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ok, what about the Clinton/Bosnia/Iran?alQeada links? Are you tired about hearing how the Iraq war is illegal? We had no right to enter into KosovO. Going into KosovO would be like going into Chechnya. Are you for that too???

After careful consideration of your point of view, just let me say....

Any "conservative" who supported the US/NATO/Isamic aggression against Christian Serbia (and that includes Bill Kristol, Brit Hume, John McCain and--if IIRC--George Will) is nothing more than a wannabe conservative. If McCain and "Hitlery", "Hildabeast" (or whatever people here call her) are at the top of the ticket, I'm leaving it blank. I owe that much to the thousands of Serbs murdered by NATO bombs for the "crime" of rolling back Islamic encroachment. Not only is the "Kosovo Campaign" the only war NATO ever won, it is the only war it COULD win. Let's not forget it only took a Russian airborne regiments' seizure of the Pristina airport (a bold, heroic move) to finally put a stop to this butchery.

"European muslims and orthodox albanians see them as destroying their westernized ideals."

European Muslims have westernized ideals? In which alternative universe?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Funny. I thought a first that I may find a coherent thought buried in there somewhere.

Silly me.

I am sick of hearing about Kosovo, Clinton, and Al-qaeda

Good for you.

I am sick and tired of not hearing about Kosovo, Cigar Boy, and Al Qaeda.

And I'm really sick and tired of people dismissing or otherwise obfuscating the tragic consequences of letting a pack of "American-loving" Muslim head-chopping, child-prostituting, drug-dealing, Christian church burning terrorists have their own country after a few decades of squatting and intimidation.

If I bought and paid for America's air force with my heroin dealing money, and America came and bombed my enemies so I could freely keep dealing heroin, I'd name streets after the American president, and have huge bouquets of flowers waiting for Americans forces when they rolled into town. That's just good business.

You do bring up some okay points about the current differences in the way European Muslims and Middle Eastern Muslims think, but you're in way over your head when it comes to the big picture.

Wile I am sorry that you had to be put in harms way in Kosovo by a stupid Left wing Dhimmocratic decision-maker, you are so far off base with your defense of Alabanian Muslim narco-terrorists that you may find it quite difficult to dislodge your head from your nether-regions. But --for your own sake --I would try if I were you!
