Albanians are reputed to be the heaviest armed, trigger-happy people of the Mediterranean: every paratrooper and every Marine, GI,... who participates in operation Allied Force has been briefed about that! Besides, the Albanian mafia is already as powerful as its Italian counterparts (Camorra, Cosa Nostra, N'dranghetta,...). Every Albanian household is equipped with gunpower. Yet, it hasn't prevent them to be expelled from their homeland --manu militari. You, Americans, should know that the State's coercive will always prevails: in 1992, as the LA riots unfolded, Pres. G. Bush sent in 6,000 Marines to restore order in the second largest city of the U.S. Civilian people geared with pistols and semi-automatic rifles are no match for an organized, professional swat team... Any America mom-and-pop militia knows it! It's one thing to get a thrill out of some wargame-picnic --it's yet another one to stand up to a professional army.
