They seem to love GW and his war-mongering ways. Are they crazy?

Thousands of young Albanians have been named Bill or Hillary thanks to the Clinton administration’s role in rescuing ethnic Albanians from the Kosovo war. After the visit on Sunday, some people expect to see a rash of babies named George.

    Alban-ia...Alban-ia you border on the Adriatic...

    Is that from Seinfeld?

    Albania rhymes with Bush-Mania
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Good one! I can hear the voices now. Talk about scoring some bonus trivial pursuit media edition points.

    "Coach" was nicer than Bush. By a long shot. He was a baseball man.

    A real baseball man.

    Except the part about blowing up the Chinese embassy and delaying 6 years while racial genocide was in process. But sure...whatever you say.

    had they not intervened when they did, the toll would be even greater.

    Of course, the whole thing was a diversion from the Monica trial. That's why I'm asking if the Albanians are crazy. Shouldn't they be accusing the US government of tom foolery and blowing themselves up in public places?
