President Clinton is known through out the world for doing what the rest of the world thought of doing, He protected the right to be Human. He and his Administration were and are still applauded for intervention in Kosovo and not letting it become another Bosnia. President Clinton family is well known among Albanians as their Friends and Hero's. President Clinton is one of the Presidents that will remain in the History books as Protector of Human Rights. Way to go Mr. President you deserve all the tributes in the World.
