There is a few things I'd like to comment, re the UN gun control.
I asked a militia member, out of school, how many weapons they had hidden in the mountains? He laughed and said "Heck, we don't even remember. Hundreds of thousands. We don't need them for the moment"
Another oddity was the number of American flags. They were everywhere, literally. If multiple flags were flying, the US flag was always first or second. The Albanian flag is the unofficial flag of the Albanian Kosovar population. Mind you, this place was 95% Muslim area. Technically, Kosovo has no official standing except that it is a UN controlled zone and the UN forbids them from having an official flag. So, it's not independent of Serbia-Montenegro, but it's not owned by Serbia-Montenegro.
My first week in country, I was blessed by three different mullahs/immans (Islamic priests) walking through the markets. After 9/11 (11 shtatorit), many Albanians asked the US forces to be allowed to go to Afghanistan to kill the Taliban, as they had experience in mountain guerilla warfare. We turned them down, telling them that rebuilding Kosovo should be their first priority.
The Serbs didn't love us as much, but they still respected us. They were upset at the Albanians for existing on 'their' soil, but respected the fact that we'd protect them from the Albanian majority. I did see a good number of US flags flying in the Serbian areas.
It was definitely an odd, odd place. It was an example, though, that not all Muslims are the enemy of the US. And that they dislike the UN as much as most American gunowners.
