#1 Of the many Clinton crimes, enabling Muslim conquest of Kosovo is perhaps the most heinous.

#2 Nope. It's the smartest thing we did there. The Kosovars are pro-American, Western oriented, and if left alone will thrive.

Many Kosovars insist the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) is actually a dictatorship.

Vetevendosje self-determination in Albanian was formed as a non-violent civil resistance movement against UN rule in a country that is supposed to be sovereign.
