Under Clinton, Albania went from a terrorist state where our ships were ordered not to enter their port to our new best friends.

If there is something to understand it’s clearly beyond my ken.

Albania is a bit different than Kosovo.

Like most ex-Communist states, Albanians who suffered under Communism are actually grateful for the US.

One of the silver linings to the 40+ years of Communist rule in Albania, is that the regime pretty much destroyed Islam in Albania, where today it is pretty much a non-factor.

In Kosovo, it’s a bit different, because the Tito regime did not crack down nearly as hard on religion.

And so now, you have a situation where the Kosovars believe they should be the rulers of all of the Greater Albania.

Whereas, people in Albania, want nothing to do with this.
