Since I've never been to the museum, I can't argue with Sofen's claim that they treat the Ku Klux Klan flippantly.

...days. NATO continued to let loose from the air, bombing targets both in and outside of Kosovo. Serb mortars landed in Albania, scattering refugees and relief workers, and Milosevic's armies continued to do battle with KLA troops. "The fighting isn't over yet," said NATO military spokesman Gen.
