Cindy's Lady Diana moment

>Cindy McCain Visits Kosovo

Mar 26 2008, wsj.com

Is Cindy McCain practicing to be first lady? While she didn’t have to dodge fictitious sniper fire, the wife of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain was in Eastern Europe today meeting with heads of state.

McCain traveled to Kosovo to discuss the removal of landmines with President Fatmir Sejdiu and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, as well as the head of HALO Trust, a mine-clearing charity. A member of the charity’s board, McCain has traveled to Sri Lanka, Mozambique and Angola to campaign for mine-clearing and has helped clear mines in Cambodia.

This was McCain’s first visit to Kosovo, where HALO has led efforts to clear the territory of explosive ordnance left behind following the 1998-1999 war and NATO’s air intervention.

Clearing land mines isn’t her only cause. McCain is also on the board of Operation Smile and CARE USA, and founded and ran the American Voluntary Medical Team from 1988 to 1995.<
