I've heard it said that Albanian's would like to have their country become the 51st state in the U.S. I've also heard statistics bandied about claiming that nearly 1/3 of the Albanian population has or is on the way to getting U.S. citizenship. True or not, it is a fact that Albanians have an affinity for America and Americans. As the video below shows, maybe it even extends to the weather. While Joplin, Missouri was being ravaged by tornados, the town of Kavaje experienced the meterological equivalent of "sympathy pains."
