[QUOTE="Khan, post: 984309, member: 10289"] It's not the first time Albright had an incident in which the Serbs were involved. In 1996, while serving as the United States Ambassador to the UN, she came to visit the Croatian city of Vukovar. The city was then still held by the Serbs, but a peaceful reintegration of the whole region into Croatia was underway. While walking around the city, [url=http://articles.latimes.com/1996-03-22/news/mn-50051_1_croatian-serb-leader]local Serbs pelted her motorcade with stones[/url]. That could be the reason for her personal animosity towards the Serbs. Not that Albright was any better towards us, anyway. When she was appointed as Secretary of State in 1997, she took an active role in US attempts to undermine the Croatian government and replace it with a more compliant one. Our first president Franjo Tuđman was often at odds with her, as he always supported Bosnian Croats and never wanted to agree with American plans for Bosnia. A fun fact - Albright later complained that while having a phone talk, he hung up on her twice. I wish today we had a president or prime minister that would have the balls to hang up the phone to our US overlords. It wouldn't have to be the Secretary of State. A simple ambassador would do just as well. [/QUOTE]
