Kosovo's obsession with America flows from the U.S. role in its creation. The U.S. led the 1999 NATO bombing campaign that paved the way to Kosovo’s independence, which marks 10 years on Feb. 17, and later played a prominent role in its rebuilding after the war. It led aid efforts and provided 7,000 troops, more than any other country, to the Kosovo peacekeeping force. A few hundred U.S. troops remain in Kosovo today. Its capital, Pristina, has boulevards named for presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (spelled Xhorxh Bush) and a street named for Bob Dole. It also features an 11-foot tall statue of Clinton.
