re: #155 Ziggy_TARDIS

The Albanians are incredibly pro-American. The socialist Mayor of Tirana some years ago said his nation was more patriotic than Michigan.

Approval ratings there for the US start in the mid-80s, and go up into the 90s regularly. The government, with one exception (They refused to allow Chemical Weapons from Syria in), has been known to go the extra 2 miles to make us happy.

They are also 80-90% Muslim.

I remember that Albanians were really pro-Bush during his first term, but I could be wrong. Anyway, the systematic anti-Muslim ranting by the Republicans has put an end to that. That also buttresses the Democrats’ position in Michigan and helps a bit in Florida.
