Republican NightmareImagine a country where Americans are adored and where our president is admired as a great leader. Indeed, the locals have even placed an enormous portrait of him on one of the tallest buildings and named one of the two largest streets in their capital after him. No, this isn’t a parallel universe in Star Trek, it’s Kosovo. However, Kosovo’s admiration for the president isn’t a Democratic nightmare but a Republican one: the much-loved American president is Bill Clinton. The two largest streets in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, are named after—wait for it—Mother Teresa and Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is a local hero because the United States led NATO in freeing Kosovo’s Albanian majority from oppression by Slobodan Milosevic’s Serbia. Indeed, one of the most chilling aspects of an exhibit on the 1999 war in Kosovo is a picture of thousands of Albanians from Pristina being loaded on to trains for deportation.
