(CNN) -- The wife of U.S. President Bill Clinton toured the refugee camps of Macedonia on Friday, listening to uprooted Kosovars' tales of a forced exodus from the Serbian province where they once lived.

Hillary Rodham Clinton called the refugees' stories "extremely disturbing," saying they brought up images that hadn't been seen in Europe since World War II.

"You feel almost like you're intruding, but they want to tell you what it felt like when they lost their children," Mrs. Clinton said.

NATO accuses the Yugoslav army and Serb special police of conducting a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against Kosovo's Albanian population.

Picture gallery: President Clinton in Macedonia

President Clinton spent an emotional hour at the Stankovic refugee camp in Macedonia. He told the Kosovo Albanians, he did not want to see another child lost to landmines in Kosovo.

Wherever the president went in the camp, he was surrounded by children who wanted to touch him.

On arrival at a rainy Skopje airport, the US president was greeted with flowers by a girl in Macedonian national costume.

5. Remember Good News, there was lots of it during those eight years

Americans were full of hope and all good seemed possible.
O how the mighty have fallen.

6. Ouch.

That was painful. I hardly remember what it felt like to have a President and First Lady to be proud of. I was proud of the Clintons, though I wish I could re-live the 90's with the wingnuts out of the picture. What's the deal with Pickles, anyway? What a pathetic excuse for a First Lady.

7. Hillary's only "meh" as a Senator...

But she was one Hell of a first lady. :)

8. Stop it! Makes me sad. A REAL president and formidable first lady.

I miss them!

9. Big difference...

between human beings and roboto-rephugs, isn't there? I'll take a vunerable, imperfect but well-intentioned, smart person over a holy-rolling, 'sociopathetic' corporate whore who doesn't "care what you think" anyday.

When's the last time you saw a picture of the Chimp receiving flowers?
For that matter. when's the last time el Chimpo went anywhere near an unprogrammed human being? Color me disgusted.

So sad how low we've sunk in such a short, short time. :(
