U.S.-backed KLA leaders who went on to be elected to run Kosovo are now being investigated for operating what amounts to an organized crime syndicate with allegations of murder as well as widespread trafficking of women, narcotics and even human organs

It seems that U.S backed leaders are given a get out of jail free card and the word democracy to U.S backed leaders is just an excuse to do whatever they so choose to do, a twisted warped idea of democracy, just like the leaders of the U.S. as the leaders there do whatever the hell they want to to get rich at the expense of the poor.

How utterly sad and disgraceful. The poor people!
Guess the United States was all this time following a policy of appeasement because the preceding civil wars were too horrific.
The results are not pretty either.

It should be added, that Al-Queda operates freely in Kosovo now.

It not just that our Government sides with the Mafia, it is also that The FBI needs to remember that The Catholic Church also Created the Mafia in it's Infantsy calling the it the " Black Hand ". Who were the Churches Security Team to protect the Businesses from being Vandalized by Criminals. Then When the People got wise and learned how to protect themselves, and stopped paying the Catholic Church the Fees of 8% of the Grose Ernings on top of the 10% the Business People were paying the Church for Tythes inside the Church each month. That is 18% to the Church for God's Help???! Then when the Black Hand was fired as the People could then protect themselves with their own tactics. The Black Hand became the Mafia, in order to regain for the Church the 8% They were loosing in rich revenue.
Just Like now the FBI needs to realize it is the Catholic Church that is fooling the Government, and Working on their ignorance that is stalling the arrest of the Leaders of the Church encluding the Pope, that sides with the Mafia when they come for Confession, and absolution of their Killing, Murdering our Children for the sake of Money that makes the Pope or God Father Richer than any other Busineses in the World. Just look at their Art Work in the Vatican, and tell me how Humble they really are??

"ignore". BS! We put those KLA criminal puppets in charge specifically to run drugs and traffic sex slaves!! Former Yugoslavia is on a major drug route from the Middle and Far East into Europe! The NATO and the CIA make sure the drug routes stay open!

It just seems that the US will back any fascist regime.

Slowly but surely the United States is being called upon to police the world. Are we up to the task? What will happen if we do not try? Will it backfire in the long run? Should we return to isolationism and just stick with a strong defense? Are we the only country with a moral conscience? A lot of questions and everyone has a different answer and prospective!

You would be hard pressed to convince me that those in power have a moral conscience. The US government is no exception. An honest look at America's history will make this plain to see if you care enough to really see the truth. The US government has a long sorry history of supporting some of the worlds most repressive regimes.

Because the handsome politicians we treat like celebrities- instead of public servants- continue to do stupid things.

Nothing new for me (I'm from the Balkans). This is a public secret from the very first day of the war in Kosovo.
