Albanians should all feel a sense of disgust about the Fort Dix plot

Albanians, and particularly those Kosovars who took refuge at Fort Dix in 1999, may want to express your gratitude to the soldiers at Fort Dix. If so, one way to communicate this message is via this address: Col. R. David McNeil, Installation Commander, Fort Dix, USA, email: webmaster@dix.army.mil
Albanian Americans should all feel a sense of disgust about the alleged plot by three Albanian brothers to kill “as many American soldiers as possible” at Fort Dix.
I don’t know what rock these creeps crawled out from under, but if this story is true, by their ignorant, evil intentions they have done reputational damage to all Albanians.
This attempt at a terrorist attack at Fort Dix is all the more reprehensible when one considers it was Fort Dix that hosted thousands of Kosovar refugees in 1999 when they were forced from their homeland by Milosevic. And if not for American military intervention, the Kosovars would still be living under repressive Serb domination.
The Serbs have been waging a fierce public relations war in an attempt to undermine Kosova’s independence. At the heart of this campaign is a concerted effort to scare the West into thinking an independent Kosova will become a jihadist state. Up until now, most have rightfully ignored this argument. But given recent events, some will now pay attention. If the Duka brothers did act as reported, they have only succeeded in helping the Serbs and hurting Albanians.
I know that Albanians living in the U.S. who enjoy the advantages of our system recognize that, even with its flaws, this is a great country. As far as I’m concerned, those who are even the slightest bit ambivalent about this can either love it or leave it! And if there is a cancer in our community that is threatening our way of life as Americans and damaging our image as Albanians, it should be dealt with in a very prejudicial manner. If you see something, say something.
