I would like to take a kosovo family in "Father mother & child(ren)"
specifically if they happen to be Christians. I know that is a small chance
because the main religion is Muslim. I live in Texas. If they can somehow
make their way to the us, I can pick them up or buy their ticket from the us
to here.
Please let me know

Hi, I am in the process of creating my own News site in support of Kosovo.
It's only been up for 2 days and has already recieved a 300 visitors. The
purpose of my site the global view of the situation. In my International
section I have gone over 20 countries view/support of NATO's efforts. I am
very busy gathering information every day and I will continue to do so as
long as it seems helpful.

I would appreciate a link from your site, How ever I am not sure that my
site is of an acceptable asthetic value yet.

If you cannot place a link would you at least visit my forum and help create
reasonable discussion there? Or tell me what else I can do to help the cause
of Kosovo?

The site is located at http://www.bc13.com/kosovo

Thank you,

Dear Sir/Madam,

Globetrotters.Org would like to offer help to the Kosova refugees.

A custom built expedition truck, suitable for up to 28 persons is
available for humanitarian aid work, with or without driver. This
vehicle was designed and built by Globetrotters/Trax for use on
long haul expeditions in Africa and Asia, and is ideal for
teams of relief workers, since it is equipped to be completely
independent of local conditions. Due to the urgent need for help in
Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro we are now making this
expedition vehicle available for a refugee relief organization or for a
group of volunteers.

Globetrotters.Org is a non-profit travel club and travel school with
25 years of expedition experience. We are not a relief organization,
however, we cannot ignore the Kosovars urgent need for help.

You will find full details of the truck and our modest offer to help at
http://globetrotters.org/kosova

Please let us know if we can be of service to you.

Sincerely,
Erik Gundersen

I don't want to express my opinion about UCK (Kosova Liberation Army)
struggle to separate Kosova from Serbia, but in this day we should not only
take care of the Albano-Kosova refugees but also of the ethnic-Albanias
still in Kosova. And the only way to defend their lived NOW is to support
UCK, which is at present the only subject able to protect their lives. How
could we help them?

I am sending a small amount of $100 to kosovo humanitarian aid
organisation in California.

--

Just to let you know that we had a demonstration in Lille, France yesterday (organised by the local Kosovar / Albanian organisation)to support the Nato air strikes, and to call for ground troops to save Kosova. Virtually the whole of the local Albanian community was there (about 100 people), lots of kids, dressed in red and black, waving flags. Sadly, there were very few non-Albanians there, so it was a rather small affair. For gods sake WAKE UP, those of you on the left who are demonstrating AGAINST NATO, you are making yourselves the accomplices of Milosovic's crimes against humanity. Better news is that at least on the humanitarian side there is a huge mobilisation here to help the Kosovar refugees / deportees. Of course it would be better to do something so that they can go home.........but in the meantime, these people need to be cared for. At first, the French government seemed not to want to take people in. There was somewhat of an outcry, so they changed the story, saying that those Kosovars who asked would be considered, but still stressing that France would not "massively" take people in. But when a phone line was opened for people who wanted to wolunteer to have one or more Kosovars to stay in their homes....... it was completely inundated with calls, 100 000 so far !! (Phone no is 0800 845 800 note that this is only for France) Sometimes people are more generous-spirited than our governments give us credit for. In spite of arguments that people will have been traumatised by what they've gone through and thus it's better to keep them in large groups with their compatriots, I think that this being taken into someone's home, where the family members can be treated as individuals, is much better than being in a big refugee camp, even one where conditions are good. I just hope that governments don't make too much red tape, and that our guests can come here soon........and then, that they will soon be able to go home. Best wishes for a free, undivided Kosova.

I am so sad for what is going on - my dad was albanian, and I feel so bad for you all. Words pale to the suffering human beings (if you can call them so) are inflicting to other human beings. We are all the same, born from the same source and it is so hard to believe that such hatrid is going on. I have been to demonstrations of solidarity with NATO, have a bumper sticker on my car, do the little things that I can... MY HEART IS WITH YOU LETS END IT SOON Love Elizabeth

--

I just want to say that my prayers are with you , and the prayers of many people throughout the world. I wish there was more we could do.

--

I want you to know that I have been deeply touched by the tragedy
engulfing Kosova. My thoughts and prayers are with your people every
day. My family and I are nonviolent people and we don’t own guns, but
we believe strongly that you have the right to defend yourselves and to
protect your land. If NATO is reluctant to send in ground forces, then
there is no other hope for the Kosovars but with the KLA. I don’t
listen to those people who try and smear the KLA. Your people have been
unfairly targeted because of your faith and ethnicity. You are fighting
for freedom and democracy, and that is a just cause. The brave men and
women of the KLA should feel proud for what they are doing for their
people and their homeland.

I have donated to humanitarian relief organizations for Kosova. I have
also written to my representatives in the Congress and the Senate in
support of NATO actions, ground troops, and the arming of the Kosovars.
In addition I have written several letters to the editor of our large
local newspaper on behalf of your cause. Two of those letters have been
published.

The Kosovars and Albanians have captured the hearts of Americans. The
images on TV are so depressing and the stories in the papers so
horrifying, but instead of looking overcome with anger and revenge, your
people only look sad, yet kind and gentle. Your children are
heartbreakingly sweet and lovely.

Our newspapers have never talked about European Muslims before. I never
even knew there were any until Bosnia and now Kosova. And yet I know
now that there are millions of Muslims in Europe – in France, Sweden,
even Russia, just as there are six million here in the U.S. living
peacefully among peoples of all races and religions. But the press
never portrays them.

I hope Albanian Americans and Kosovar Americans take a greater role in
depicting the face of Islam here in American. Judging by your web site,
you are articulate, well organized, and you seem to know how to work the
system in terms of the press and the government. By becoming more
active and visible in this way, you will not only help the cause of your
own people, but you will share your success with your Muslim brothers
and sisters here in America and abroad. Most Americans are painfully
ignorant of Islam. Many even think we worship a different god. Only
when Islam finally earns the full respect of ordinary Americans and
Europeans, will tragedies like the ones that have befallen the Kosovar
people as well as the Palestinian people finally be ended. May God
reward you for your all of your efforts.

The people of Kosova and Albania have all of my love and admiration,
Your sister in Islam

Dear Kosova Crisis Center Staff @ Alb-Net:

For those of us Americans who do not speak Serbo-Croatian, please provide
translations of the pro-Serbian letters. I know they are obscene as you
warn, but for us to see and understand their hateful sentiment is important,
so I hope you will consider this request.

I found your site through the link with CNN, and have directed as many people
as I know who care to see the Serbian atrocities there. All were truly
shocked, and came away feeling more committed to helping ethnic Albanians in
Kosovo/Kosova. Keep up your struggle, let's bring all murderers to justice,
and always pray for peace.

Best regards,
T.E.S.

Alb-Net Response: We will start translating the e-mails soon.

I am sure times are exteremely tough right now. One thing you must hold on to is your faith and the love for the lord. Keep praying for strength, and your prayers will be answered. Don't think because of this time of horror he is not here. He is and he wants you to lean on him and join him in his glory! He loves you and watches over you! Feel him and pray for him. He does love you and so do I! All of you are in my prayers for peace and the safe delivery of the end to come soon! Hold on! And God Bless! Sincerely, Your friend...

I teach in Meeker Colorado. This year we have an exchange student from
Macedonia. He was raised in Kosovo and has many relatives there. You
can imagine this is a very difficult year for him to be away from home.
He currently has about 100 people living with his family in Skopije.
Our student council would like to send his "other" family boxes of items
they need for the refugees. We have encountered difficulties in
shipping things. UPS wants to charge us $10 a pound. With so many
agencies working to assist the refugees I thought this would be easy and
an excellent project for the teens. Most teens are more concerned about
dates for the prom this time of year but I have kids calling me hourly
with new ideas of how to get our supplies to "Artie's other home." Can
you give us any help?

As a student at Aberdeen University in Scotland I recently met Ardian
Kastrati (President, Students Independent Union of University of
Prishtina) when he visited Scotland just before the current NATO
intervention started. I am keen to find out where he is now and that he
is in safe hands. Subsequently, it seemed that help that students in
Aberdeen could provide would have been based on books and other teaching
aids that could have been relatively easily delivered to Prishtina.
Sadly events have overtaken that optomistic expectation.

Please can you let me know what is your agenda and how you feel students
can help. Firstly, I propose that we 'feed' into local networks here
that are trying to get aid into countries surrounding Kosova as a matter
of the utmost urgency. Clearly this will not target students
specifically. Secondly, what about students who have fleed Kosova? And
students and young people many who are already in the UK? I understand
that refugees, some as young as 16, are accomodated by the British
Government in 'bedsits' in London where they have to live alone and
lookafter themselves. Whilst this is an immediate solution to the
horrors of the Balkans today, it is not a medium term solution for young
people who should continue school and university as best they can until
they can return home.

I can tell you that here in Aberdeen (and throughout Scotland) there is
considerable support and much being done to build convoys of
humanitarian aid. I am visisting one such centre tommorrow. Many people
would offer accomodation. The university has empty accomodation that
could be made available and I personally believe could admit some
students to academic courses here. I have a spare room at my flat, and I
know others must care enough to offer accomodation and other kinds of
support to anyone from Kosova who ventured to this part of the UK.

The Aberdeen City Council is discussing what it can do to physically
assist refugees to visit the City at a meeting in10 days. Can you
acknowledge this email as soon as possible with any feed back I can pass
onto the City Council and to other students?

With best wishes at this troubled time,

Rodney Basford.

I don't know who will receive this e-mail but I have to let someone know
that my thoughts and prayers are with the people in Albania. May our God
watch over you and let you be filled with peace and love. We love you,
support you, and pray for you daily. Please feel free to answer my
e-mail if possible. Jean

All the best in your struggle for self determination. I will continue to
support the NATO air strikes, and ground troops if that's what it takes. I
am also keenly aware of the terrible difficulties of your people in the
region and will continue to donate what I can towards helping them.

Regards.

From Sweden:

Do you have any propaganda? Not to send messages to such people as me.
This is a lost time.
If you have one then it is not seen. Anyway I remind you some points:

1. Milosevic in the first days announced that all Serbs in all the word
are mobilized. Who else except Serbs and communists support Milosevic in
demonstrations? The firsts are mobilized solders; the seconds are
supporters by party rules.

2. Two days ago Milosevic gave the new rules to the police in Serbia: to
arrest, to prevent, and even to shoot. On my opinion it shows that he
looses support in his people. Then why it always told that the support
is growing? By the way, the Russian women and children were evacuated to
save them not from NATO but from angry Serbs.

3. The problem with the Serb GULAG for some 600,000 Serbs is some six
years old. Why Russia only now decided to help them? By the way, the
armored tracks by Russia in the “humanitarian” aid are used:
a) It is impossible to check whether there is something metal inside
without taking out all (all to the last one) boxes.
b) The armored tracks are useful just now to Milosevic. All what is
inside except arms and fuel they put to mask this. Have you prepared the
roads to bring those arms to Milosevic in the shortest time?
c) Russians know quite well that for real humanitarian aid better to use
big not armored trucks. It will allow carrying some 50% more.

Ones more, do you have a propaganda tools? Can you make know such facts
to the world, especially to Milosevic supporters? Most of them do not
know the truth.

The KLA looks on the TV screen very impressive, congratulations!
I hope that in the battle they will be as good. But they may start only
when helicopters will come! Not earlier!

Ilya.

Dear staff and people of Kosova and Albania!

My heart goes out to all the deported, tortured, victimised and -
massacred - souls of Kosova. The irony of it all: This has been going on for
a long time and no one took notice. It seemingly needed this unspeakable
escalation before the world woke up to your suffering.

Since I feel as helpless as many of the other people here and - like them -
have a burning wish to do 'something', I take it upon myself to translate a
German letter/article into English, which has been sent to this forum by
someone from Switzerland.

(I am a translator (English, Dutch, German) - and if I can be of help in
translating materials - free of charge, of course - in the above languages,
please let me know.

May this hell and suffering of the Kosovar people end soon. I don't know if
the deployment of ground forces is the answer, all I know is, this hell must
be stopped! In my book, the Serbian nation has forfeited any right it might
have had to the lands of Kosova forever!

Jeanette

(Letter previously sent to your forum in German language):

Deployment of ground forces in Kosova a necessity

The terror of the Serbs has forced NATO into taking military action against
Yugoslavia. This immediate reaction to the rejection of the R. Peace Accord
by the Serbs was the only realistic option for intervention. The options for
constructive action have dwindled steadily and any - relatively desirable -
solutions have proven impossible.

The campaign of destruction by the Serbian paramilitaries is wild, cruel
beyond belief and planned. If anyone had the notion that systematic 'ethnic
cleansing', like previously seen in Bosnia, would be impossible in Kosova -
where 90% of the population is Albanian - knows better today.

Milosevic engages in a policy, which allows no mercy for its victims and
wants no witnesses to the crimes. This is an evil, last seen raging in
Bosnia - it carries the signature of cold, organised genocide. He has a
talent for destroying his country. In this century, he has lost three wars
already and he is in the process of losing a fourth.

With every new day of misery, the notion of the West that Kosova must remain
with Yugoslavia or even Serbia at any price, is further removed from
reality. Ever since the Kosovar Albanians fell under Serbian rule at the eve
of the First World War, they were subjected to wave after wave of genocidal
brutality by the hands of their rulers. Today, only those who are blind and
deaf can still go on demanding the permanent and forced integration of this
population in the State of Belgrade, while the civilians, massacred by
Serbian paramilitaries, are still waiting to be buried.

The Serbs, therefore, are in danger of a double defeat: they loose Kosova
and keep Milosevic. But even if the Kosovars get their own state, they are
the biggest losers. Their homes, villages and cattle have been destroyed.

Today, nobody can say that one could not suspect what the Serbs would do on
the Amselfeld: We know it all too well from their war against Croatia, we
know it since the mass killings and mass deportations in Bosnia.
"Preventative diplomacy", as intended by the EU for their "Common foreign
and security policy" and the OSCE, did not work in Belgrade.
Milosevic has always understood better the language of generals than that of
eloquent diplomats. This was the case in Bosnia and it will be the case in
Kosova. The West has finally understood that one cannot enter into
agreements with the forces in Yugoslavia. They do not recognise anything but
violence. Only when they are threatened in their very existence, they become
ready to compromise. NATO has learned its lesson in Bosnia. A quick and hard
reaction was necessary in the Kosova conflict, because one did not want to
fall for Milosevic's stalling tactics again. This firmness made and makes
sense.
Those who cannot or do not want to understand this, seemingly have not
noticed the failed diplomacy of the past eight years. But those who insist
on strict compliance with the letters of international law, must answer the
question of how many lives they are willing to dedicate to this cause. What
use is a pacifism, which emphasises its opposition to every war, while war
is raging? It is open to debate, whether the question 'cui bono' is the only
valid one, and no other factors should be considered, but the fact that
pacifism serves the stronger warring fraction should give food for thought -
and not only since Bosnia.
Many insist that NATO has no legitimacy for the intervention in Kosova. But
with the objective to end violence and mass deportation in Kosova, NATO has
international law on its side to intervene militarily (also against the
wishes of Belgrade and without approval of Russia in the UN).
If the prevention of genocide in Kosovo can not be secured by Chapter VII of
the UN Charta, it can be legitimised by the lesser known Chapter VIII, which
primarily deals with regional organisations.
There, article 53 states that no action for restoring peace by regional
organisations should take place without UN approval. However, there are
grounds for maintaining that an approval by the Council must not always
specifically be issued beforehand, especially, when a particularly critical
situation develops extremely quickly.
With regard to Kosova this means: NATO intervenes because of a severe
worsening of the situation, informs the Security Council and requests
approving acknowledgement. Should a member of the Security Council then
'condemn' the action, it would need a majority in the UN (i.e. 8 of the 15
member states).
Today - should the genocide be brought to an end - the West has to seriously
consider a new strategic option besides air strikes, and this option is
deployment of ground forces.
Rivers of refugees swell as unrelentingly as floodwater, massacres are being
reported by the media, houses are burning, the deportation of the civilian
population reaches catastrophic proportions. The situation cannot be stopped
and cannot be alleviated by air alone. The deployment of ground forces
therefore becomes increasingly inevitable.

Alb-Net Response: Thank you so much for your help.  We appreciate it.

All the bull and crab what exactly we are waiting for ??? We stripped the
albanians from any fire power they had and we promised we are there for them.
We are sure killing them by waiting. You either want to defend them or just
give them the weapons to fight for themselves this nato bullshit is even
worse than the Serbs. They promised them over a year ago that they protect
them and took the weapons from the albanians, then let the serbs have their
weapons and take away the Albanians then wait for what???. Even if you send
ground troops yestrerday you already Have killed and kicked people from their
homes maybe over 350,000 ( this number reflects HUMAN BEINGS, incase anyone
got confused). No thanks for your jacked up Humanitarian. For eighteen days
you have been sending billion dollar warplanes and only 6% of these warplanes
hit their target and the rest came back with their artillary. Because of
what??? BAD weather I repeat BAD WEATHER(HA) this has to be in a movie. Then
for eighteen days you have air support that only 6% carries it's duty??? and
then wait Why not send the Ground Troop if we claim to be the number one
country and we voice about Humainty this sure does look like Geonicidal and
we are supervising it but in a shield that we are the protectors???

What in the world are we waiting till every MUSLIM in Kosovo dies??? And
then the so called the NATO force marches in, this is a mad house and nato is
supervising by waiting out. The funny part we have 1 billion dollar jets/
airplanes now listen to this they are not hitting their targets because of
BAD WEATHER. Please tell me you want them dead fine but do not give such
stupid excuses. We never heard such excuses over the Muslim Country of
IRAQ??? now all of a sudden the weather is of effect. The irony is there is
1.2 billion Muslims and they are worse than a dead voice. What a shame???

As for the Ignorant serbs, what a joke they go to church ( whatever they
believe in) and then they go out slaughter human beings, rape women kill
children I am very sure that Jesus(pbuh) NEVER relayed such a message to any
race.

May ALLAH be merciful on the dead and the living ones, hope the cost of
politics and ignorance of religion as well as greed does not take more of
Kosovo Lives.

Though I am helpless now it's not like with a switch I can turn this on or
off. I will voice my opinion and help you Brothers and Sisters with as much
money as I can it seems this now will be the best. Also I urge every Muslim
to fast and make prayers to our brothers and sisters.

Dear Sir / Madam:

I have seen report after report indicating the emergency need for
refugee relief. I have contacted several agencies offering my direct
assistance. I am willing to go to Albania or Macedonia to help. I have
many skills and qualities to offer including overseas experience. I
have received NO responses. This is really frustrating to me because I
believe there is a need for help, but I have offered and have not heard
from anyone. I would appreciate hearing from you. I would like to know
what I can do other than simply give money.

Sincerely,

John Ristow

I am a student at the University of South Florida and we will be sponsoring
a week of awareness for the Kosova refugees beginning Wednesday the 14th. I
am writing for two reasons. First, I wanted to make sure that I was
violating no copyrights or anything buy using information from your site.
Secondly, I was hoping that you could provide me with a higher resolution,
or larger copy of the pic that is shown on your home page. (the one with
the caption Europe in the 40's, Europe in the 90's)

Any additional help you can provide would be greatly appreciated, I would be
very grateful if you could simply provide a larger or higher res. file with
that pic on it. We are looking for an attention getter that I could blow up
to 8.5 X 11..the one on the site becomes almost unrecognizable at this
point.

Thank you again, and God bless you.

conservatives vote over and over and have networks to vote online. Thus all netpollsare skewed in a conservative isolationist direction. Unfortunately our president is hesitant to offend people. The real American people stand with the kosovar albanians and know we should have sent in ground troups monts ago. Your sister,Cynthia P.s There is only one Jerusalem and it is not in Kosova.

I simply wanted to let you know that I and my family have the greatest sympathy for you all in this time of crisis and uncertainty. I struggled to comprehend who the good guys and bad guys were during the conflicts which took place in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia....and I concluded after exhaustive research that the Serbian Politicians and their followers were the bad guys. I am saddened beyond words that the Serbs have now brought their wrath down upon you. May you have the strength to persevere...I hope for a swift defeat of the Serbian led forces, and I shed tears thinking how my country may have failed you in this final hour, by waiting too long to get involved. God help us all, and may he preserve and protect you, if this is truly within his power.

Here is a copy of the email I sent today to MSNBC. I am so deeply
disgusted with our own politicians, esp. the isolationists who say, oh,
it's only a few thousand Albanians, its not our business. I hope these
politicians are defeated next year. But meanwhile, it appears the
Albanian people have finally been heard and some form of justice may
prevail yet! Keep your courage!

I've watched your coverage of the Kosovo crisis with great interest and
thank you for offering nearly continuous coverage of this crucial
matter.

Nearly ALL ethnic Albanians have been expelled! Nearly 1.3 of 1.5
million people put on the move or killed! This is a crime against
humanity of massive proportions.

The US involvement with other NATO countries in Yugoslavia is a sad
event. I wish we could have worked more through the UN. However, it
was clear that the Russians couldn't care less about the slaughter of
Kosovo Albanians, leaving no choice but to bypass it and the UN
Security Council it partially controls and proceed with the NATO
alliance. I did not originally see any purpose for continuing NATO in
the post-Cold War era, and much less for expanding its member
countries, but I was short sighted. Now, as far as I'm concerned, it
may be time to re-evaluate our relations with Russia, but that's
another topic. Maybe the Cold War is not on ice any more.

Of all the imperfect foreign policy actions our country could take,
engaging in military action to prevent genocide is certainly among the
most justifiable.

If genocide is not the business of this country, then we have no
business being the most powerful country in the world. If we were to
leave Kosovo in the hands of that murderer and war criminal Milosovic,
we would be obliged to edit our Constitution's mission statement to
something more like the following:

"to establish a little bit of Justice when convenient, insure domestic
Tranquility first no matter what the cost to the rest of the world,
provide for the common defense of ourselves only, promote the general
Welfare of ourselves only, and most of all secure the Blessings of
Liberty exclusively to ourselves and our Posterity, the rest of the
world be damned."

If I had say, I would insure that Yugoslavia never has any influence in
Kosovo again, and that it be deemed a UN protectorate. Yugoslavia
should be made to restore every home it has destroyed and pay war
reparations to the families it has displaced--at least to those lucky
enough to have avoided assassination.

Every war criminal should be forced to personally rebuild by hand those
Kosovo homes and other buildings they destroyed and looted, before
being imprisoned for their crimes. If any Serb can live peacefully
with the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, fine. Otherwise, Serb influence
should be forfeit. Whatever sacredness this land held for Serbia, they
have defiled it with their genocide, and are entitled to it no longer.

I praise President Clinton for his stand with NATO, and I feel it is a
deed of great courage and commitment for our country and for those
whose lives are at risk in our armed forces. Like WWII, this is a just
war and must be fought until the outrage of ethnic cleansing is an
historical monstrosity, dead and buried alongside Hitler's gas ovens.

Hello there! I just read some of these messages that are coming around the world. It is obvious that the suffering of ethnical albanians of Kosova has united people all over this planet. And united them for the purpose of bringing peace and real possibilities to live in Kosova for those who are now refugees and those Kosovan albanians who are still in Kosova. It is however important to remember that serbs as a nation has been mislead by their leaders, mislead for hate towards their albanian brothers and sisters. I think the crucial question is: "How to open the ordinary serbians eyes to that what their leaders are doing to albanians in Kosova and to the Yogoslavia. After all peace even between different nations begin from hearts of individual people, as unfortunately hate does also. And hatred has been going on for too long time in Kosova - as the world is now wittnessing.  It is however incourising to see that people arond the world are praying for peace to Kosova and to whole area of Balkan. I myself as a christian am also praying - the terrible sufferings there are very much breaking my heart. After all I believe there is still God who hears and sees all the suffering that is going on there and the destinations of all the nations are on His hand. Love is still stronger than hate as Jesus Christ proved when He was praying on the cross: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."(Luke 23:34) What and Who could open the serbs eyes to this reality of love being stronger and lead them to stop what their are doing in Kosov? I hand this message as a prayer request to you who read this. My heart and prayers are with you!

on my heart and nmany of my friends hearts for you. We are continuing to
pray for you and if it is the will of God that I go to you - then I will do
so. God loves you - ask him to be with you.

My name is Angela Zagreda and I am a 17 year old Albanian American. I only feel hatred for Slobodan Milosovic and his disgusting regime. Yougoslavia has terrorized us for hundreds of years. We are a peaceful people but how much murder, killing, and raping can anyone take? I only hope that my fellow Americans can understand what the Albanians are going through and support your country and NATO. Just think about it: you are in your warm beds while Kosovar refugees are sleeping on the cold hard ground, in the freezing cold. You are well while they are suffering from many fatal illnesses. Don't look at this situation as a political one, look at it as people dieing under a madman's army. Think about it--if your sons were being executed and your daughters were being murdered, would you remain submissive and peaceful?....I think not!

I cannot believe that these sick Serbians are allowed to write these disgusting comments. I hope that when all is said and done, you will drop to your knees and pray for our forgiveness.

Thank you alb-net. I am 17 years old, awaiting June,
when I will finally graduate from High School. My
graduation present I received months ago- a round trip
to go and see my large family in the city of Peja,
Kosova. I guess I will not be getting my graduation
presemt after all. All of my family has been evicted,
and I only know where a handful of them are.My friends
there, and my cousins...how close we got every summer
that I spend in the tiny culture-filled city. Will I
ever see you agian? All I can say is that I love you,
and that I pray for you every moment that I am awake.
My family resides in Upstate NY...My father is
Albanian...born and raised in Kosova.He has taught me
whatever I know of the Albanian Language...And he is a
zombie nowadays. I can't take seeing him like this, or
seeing the pictures of the refugees, and wondering
where my family and friends are hiding in the crowd. I
wish this was all over, better yet, that it never
started. We will take as many refugees in our home as
we can. And I will continue to pray for you Kosova.
Thank you once agian-
Emily-jean Kastrati
