| TIRANA (Reuters) - A group of Albanian women who
campaigned against Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal
have formed an organization supporting the U.S. president after
NATO's air strikes against Yugoslavia.
Albania's main Koha Jone daily said Friday the women's group in
the southern port of Vlore had sympathized with Lewinsky, the former
White House intern whose affair with Clinton prompted impeachment
proceedings that ultimately failed.
However, they now favored Clinton for ordering U.S. forces to
take part in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia over Belgrade's refusal
to sign a peace deal for Kosovo, whose population is largely ethnic
Albanian.
"We are sure that with your authority you would back NATO's
attack on Serbia to the end, putting out the flames of war in the
Balkans," the women wrote in a letter to Clinton.
The "Bill Clinton" association now wants him to do something for
their town, ravaged by violence during anarchy in 1997, once the
troubles of Kosovo have been sorted out.
