<<that's it, I am calling Blair to reserve a family of 9 Albanians for your neighborhood,
thank you for your generosity >>

If you remember, a few years ago there was a riot in Albania itself. Thousands of refugees crossed Adriatic sea on small boats to Italy.
The crime wave in Italy, caused by those people was so overwhelming, that Italians are still shaking, and resisting any idea of hosting Albanian refugees on their soil.

While youre at it then, reserve 9 for me. Make that 9 families. Im sure my neighbors, Indians, Mexicans, Russians, Latvians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Vietnamese, and good ole Texan born and bred white boys will take 9 as well. You see, we dont believe in killing our neighbors because of dubious historical accidents.

It would not be the first Albanian family in my neighborhood, or the first Serbian, or Nigerian, Mexican, Rwandan, Vietnamese, or Russian for that matter. If you don't count my Irish wife, I'm the only native speaker of English on my street.

Don't make the mistake that I am a supporter of Clinton. I ended my military career early rather than serve under the gutless, self-serving sonofabitch. His position as Commander in Chief, with command over US military forces, has been a travesty and an abuse of those who serve in our nation's military, not to mention a grave disservice to our entire nation.

Having said that, I do believe that the Serbs under Slobodan Milosevic have gone far beyond the pale in their seemingly insatiable blood lust for killing their ethnic enemies. Just because Clinton is a liar and quite possibly a traitor, doesn't make it wrong for us to do what is right in the Balkans. I think of it as doing what is right in spite of Clinton. Something that should have been done and would have been done years ago were it not for Clinton.
