There's more to everything, but the complication is the geopolitics of Europe and the Middle East, because Serbia and the Balkans is sort of a gateway to the Middle East. It's in Europe, but it's a gateway to the Middle East, and a lot of the political dynamics internationally are at play there. But the Serbs and the Serbian people were allies with the United States in both world wars.

The electrical grid, they bombed military bases. This was May of 1999. And I went, I was a young congressman there. I was the only Serb.

And the Serbs have felt very betrayed by the United States for choosing to be on the side of countries that were with the Axis and with the Nazis in World War II. And those wars down in the Balkans and throughout Europe are wars of ethnic cleansing. All the sides do it. There's no one side that, you know, is... crystal clean on those issues.
