Pro-US Albania cheers President Bush

Filed under: Europe

While anti-Americanism is very strong and on the rise in Europe, nations that suffered from dictatorships or ethnic cleansings usually tend to be very friendly at the United States. Albania welcomed President Bush, as it remembers that America contributed a lot to its liberation by helping in the fight against Soviet Union and rescuing Kosovo's Albanians from the regime of deceased Serbian Communist and war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. While I'm not sure if independence for Kosovo is a good thing, I think that the photos below just show the genuine gratitude of a people who suffered communism and, in Kosovo, has been slaughtered in its thousands by the pro-Russian Serbs.

Kudos to Albania!

Gosh we are reader-responsive! No sooner does somebody request this in a comment than lo and behold it appears. I hope they are suitably grateful.

GO ALABANIA! YOU ROCK!

I had collected them yesterday, and saved them in my mailbox to be posted in my blog, but I had the idea to post them here, first.


La Russophobe says:

Shhhh don't tell them we should let them think we do it all for them ;)

God bless the grateful Albanians. It touched my heart to see their turnout for President Bush. When he went into the crowds and they hugged him and touched their heads to his head and caressed his cheek and some even kissed his hand, it was quite amazing. The crowds waving our flag, not trampling or burning it, how refreshing!! I almost want to pinch myself, yet, here you have photo's too, thank you, thank you.
