We hear Serb and Nato voices every night on TV. Somehow Kosovo
Albanians need to get their opinions before the world.

There are now 700,000 refugees in "safe havens". Can't they be
organized? They seem to be very passive. That must change.

Would you be so kind to provide us, possibly, a list of the most
important churches, monuments, mosques, frescos among the Kosovo
heritage, and in particular those that are actually threatened by the
conflict, please?

Looking forward your answer, thank you very much.

Hello. My name is Z.B. I have been watching the suffering of
the people of Kosova for a long time now and I would like to help. I
have been searching for a way to contact the american KLA recruitment
personnel but I have been unsuccessful. if you could give me information
on how to contact them I would be extremely grateful.

Respectfully,
Z.B.

Milosavic should be executed for crimes against humanity. The people
that support this barbarian criminal and his goon squad should be
excommunicated from the human race. My heart goes out to the kosovo
refugees. Freedom is an inalienable right of all people, and borders
cannot silence the international will of freedom, or protect the evil
tyrants that quest for the souls of human-kind.

I am an American. I wish Kosovo could be free and independent of Serbia/Yugoslavia. I am concerned about NATO's rejection of using ground troops and, also, after hearing Madelene Albright's statements in our Senate Meetings yesterday(4/20/99), I am concerned for the future of all Kosovars. Madelene Albright said NATO has no intentions of taking Kosovo away from Serbia. Why is Albright saying this to the Senate? Would someone tell me why NATO is fighting this war if not to Free Kosovo? I am very disappointed. thanks, Tessa Campbell

I wish there was an end in sight to the suffering that is going on. Where will it lead? We seem to be getting more and more in a mess, with more and more people needlessly dying. I am praying for someone to come up with a peace agreement that will work, but I do not hold out much hope. S. Rushworth, West Yorkshire, England

I'm from EGYPT, the land of Al-AZHAR and the thousand minerats city, Cairo.
We are all here in ur side, ou are in our hearts, we support you as much as possible, if I can, i would be now in Belgrad killing those criminals, but God does never forget his people, his beloved peaceful people, and remember, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, that any killed muslim in this massacre is alive in heaven, with angels and profits, they are heros they are "Shohadaa" as we say in Arabic.

To Whom It May Concern,

I just read that 20,000 Kosovar refugees will be brought to the
continental United States. (I am so glad that our government has
decided against sending them to Cuba.) Perhaps your organization is
involved with this. If so, please let us know if we can help in
anyway. We would be honored. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom +
loft / 2 bath newer townhouse in a very nice area of Orange County,
California. We have no children and would be pleased to share our home
and cover expenses. There is shopping, entertainment, great schools all
near by.

There is also a large Islamic community in Southern California and
Orange County which I am sure would help to support the refugees in any
way possible -- morally, spiritually, financially, etc. My husband and
I are Muslim, born and raised in the U.S. He is an engineer and I am a
nurse. You have our e-mail. Let us know if we can be of assistance.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the brave and noble Kosovar
people. May God protect them, shield them from harm and grant them all
peace and safety very soon.

Forgive me, but I'm trying find an organization that can or
will help us.
You see, I and my husband live in the US. We wish to offer
two persons a place to live, with us in Tennessee. We can
offer this
much. I understand that the U.S., is allowing persons who
have relatives
that live in the US, to come to the US.
Hopefully, we can help.

Thank you and Sincerely,

Sadly war is a consequence only produced by man, it has been like this
since the begining when it prooved to be profitable, and by the world's
current position we can see that they can still get something out of it.
What are they fighting for? Land? Money? Power?... the only true war is the
one that they are going to have within themselves, with their conciense, a
war where they won't be able to ask alies to help them destroy what they
think is bad or wrong or not normal or whatever goes through their minds...
They'll pay because the eternal law of karma gives justice to all, even if
you don't belive in it, there are a lot of metaphores that stand by the
same law (like divine justice)
I'm only 17 years old, but i can see what's not right and if i can see
what's wrong, why can't they?

The only thing i can offer you right now is my support, is the "i'm so
sorry" that you've probably have been hearing a lot of lately, but i can
asure you that i mean it.

I'm not on anyone's side, war brings out the worse out of human nature, and
it makes innocents victims, only to this lasts i offer support, for the
ones that never had anything to do with sides, who found themselves in the
middle of this great tragedy.

I am writing you from México. I am agree with you, all the people wants
to be with people of the same culture, lenguaje, religion or traditions.
No one can´t forbid to others this right. You don´t have to support all
the violations against your rights, you have the same rights than the
serbs, mexicans, americans... So you must be brave (i am praying for
you)

Greetings

We are an Internet Service Provider in
Southern California. We are currently
building a server and a database engine
to help the refugees of the world locate
their loved ones. The preliminary site
is now online and available for use.

The database will both accept input and
be searchable from a website. One can
enter his own record and search for
others at a single site. The site
is currently in English only, but we
do have an Albanian translator working
on a version for that language.

Any database is only as good as the data
it contains, which is why we are contacting
you. We would welcome any help you can give
us to spread the word that this tool is
available. This is *not* a fee-based site ... use
will be at no charge to anyone, ever. We
welcome all refugees, and those they are seperated
from, to enter their information and search the
database as often as they like. We would very
much like to see relief agencies taking advantage
of it, as well, and entering data for those who
cannot do so themselves.

Please feel free to look at the site. It is
still under construction, but we decided not
to wait for all the bells and whistles before
putting it online. The need is far too great.
You can find it at:

www.silent-running.com/kosohelp.htm

Please look at this project, and if you can help
spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

John Bowman

I am having a demonstration on Saturday at 2:00pm in
Colorado Springs. The motto of the demonstration will be the
need to deploy ground troops NOW. Bombing alone
will not get the serbian terrorist's out of Kosova, so it is
important that ground troops
are deployed there soon. Anyone who feels likewise and lives
near Colorado Springs CO
is welcome to join me.

Thanks, Vincent Burnett

My wife and I would like to help some children in the refugee camp that have
lost their parents to the senseless violence caused by the Serbs. Please
E-mail me back and tell me of the status of adopting a child or baby from
Kosovo.

I hardly know what to say. I cannot imagine how a group known as
Christians, such as the Serbs, can commit the atrocities that they have and
continue to do so. It is my sincere wish that the world can make the
short-term lives of the Ethnic Albanians as comfortable as possible and that
in the long term those people can be returned safely to their homeland. I
have made a contribution to the Red Cross this month and will attempt to
make further contributions in the months to come. Best wishes to the
refugees and to all those who are helping them.

Hello from New York! My name is Artemis. I am a Greek-American and my
heart is totally burdened for the the people of Kosovo and all that they have
sufferred and continue to suffer. I would like any information on how I can
contact the Kosovo Refugees. I would also like to help. If there are any
special needs, I would like to send a care package, even better, coordinate a
group care package amongst friends, relatives and neighbors in my area.
Please instruct as to what needs we can assist with.
My heart especially goes out to all the children suffering and have seen
so much at such young ages, especially the children who have become orphans.
I can't imagine what its like being torn from your home, having family
members killed before your eyes. I wish we could bring them all here, even
temporarily, out of the range of fire, into a safe, loving home. I'm
thankful for the countries who have opened their arms to the refugees, but
pray that one day they will be able to return to their home.
My husband and I have been married for 15+ years and do not have any
children. We've been considering adoption for some time, but in light of all
that is happening, we want adopt a child in need, possibly more then one. I
say that because if there are any orphaned siblings, I 'd prefer to adopt
them all, if possible, rather then see them split up.
I am from Northern Greece and both my parents (primarily my mother) speak
Albanian and Macedonian (along with some relatives). I am eager and willing
to learn the language also, so that in case of adoption, to provide an easier
transition for the children. All I promise is they will be loved and
welcomed into a very loving home. My parents who also look forward to a
grandchild (they don't have any grandchildren) and lots of close relatives,
and close friends who will also shower them with love and provide the
security they so desperately need.
Please write me and advise as to what I would need to do next to make this
a reality for all of us, especially the children. We don't have a lot of
knowledge regarding international adoptions, or any adoption process, for
that matter... but would definitely like to find out more and possibly start
this process soon, particularly for the children's sakes. I have relatives
both in Greece (and Romania) in case I need their assistance in interpreting
or traveling needs.
I would also be more then willing to discuss other ways that we can be of
assistance to all children of Kosovo as well as their families.
I apologize for the length of this e-mail, and thank you for your time in
considering my above requests.
Your response and any assistance you can offer, will be greatly
appreciated.

When I listen to the Serb propagandists over here, they tend to be very loud,
not listening to anyone, and just generally are showing that they are really
*****! I figure, since the Serbians know they are doing it, and are so proud of
it (ethnic cleansing), why don't they just advertise?
    I found this gif on one of their web sites, and I couldn't resist saving it, it
was so funny. So I alterered it a little. Just a little.
    It's a little ametuerish, but what the heck, I hope you enjoy this one.
    I hope that it's not seen as making light of a very serious situation, but
maybe you might be able to squeeze in a laugh or two.
    Humor is good for the soul.
    Especially in war...

I have heard of all the problems you have been having and I feel so bad
for you if this happened to me I would not be able to handle it I would
probably die of being so scared. I have seen lots of things on the news
about your country. I hope this will end soon and you can get back to
your normal life and you don't have to be thrown out of your house just
because of your religion. God bless you all

Murray from Canada:
The other day I saw a brief account on CNN of where the KLA had
captured a small farm or cabin in Kosova, there they captured some arms
and what appeared to be serb soldiers identity cards on a table, it
looked like about 30-50 of them, As I don't think these are from those
who fled-(as who would remove these items when resting?)-the KLA, they
must be from serbs whose bones will stay forever in Kosova. I was just
wondering if this would be an accurate assumption or not? As I am not
normally violent I would hope that this is the case, as I find myself
totally involved with your struggle may you rid yourself of these serbs
(butchers,killers,and rape artists,) once and for all.
And to Nato send in the troops QUICKLY before there is no one to
save!!

Dear Sir or Madam:

I have noticed that you been producing a number of news stories that have
been covering the 'Kosovo Crisis'.

I would like to take this opportunity to direct you to the Bosnian Institute
and International Crisis Group websites.

I feel that they both hold a comprehensive source of information on the
dispute, the URL's are: http://www.bosnia.org.uk and
http://www.crisisweb.org

I think that you too will agree that it is relevant to your news stories and
therefore could you possibly create links to both sites?

I hope that you carefully consider my request.

Yours faithfully,

Al-salaam alikom dear muslim brothers and sisters
I am writing these words with a deep pain in my heart due to the
situation you are facing. Turn back to your true religion of Islam and
Jihad is the only way to liberate your people and your country from
the criminal serbs. Advice your refugee people not to go to their
enemies in Israel as they are criminal like the serbs and daily
killing our muslim brothers in Palestine and Lebanon.
I know that the muslim countries didn't do their role towards you and
I am ashamed of this but the world including serbs, russia and usa
only make this to muslim people as they did in Sudan, Afghanistan,
Somalia and other places because the muslim countries are weak and
most of them are followers to the west and usa.
We will try to come and do what ever help we can do towards you
eventhough the west and usa prevents any Arab or Muslim people of
coming to Albania or Kosova because they want or the aid to carry
their names and the crescent and also because they are always afraid
of the true Jihad of the muslims that will shift the balance of
struggle as they did In Bosnia.
Allah may help you and turn the enemies plans against them and we will
pray for you brothers every time.

your brother

How come more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than
any other aspect in history... Peace be to you all, the whole universe

Just a suggestion. The Seselj speech which you present from another source
is quite unreadable without proper paragraphing. I know that is probably
how you got it, but, in order for anyone to be able to read it, you have to
break it up into smaller units. The long paragraphs, especially on a
computer screen, are impossible to read. TL

I recently heard on the news refugees would be coming to the Houston area.
I'm willing to house a family of 3-5 refugees for as a long as needed.

all as you try to survive amidst the persecution you are facing.

I support what NATO is trying to do. I hope they are able to stop Milosevic
and what he is trying to do.

Please also send information on what we can do. I would like to volunteer

how I can help.

they will all perish.

I didn't pay much attention to what was going on in Kosova in the beginng other than briefly reading what was in the paper.
Then one day as I sat at my desk at work I was looking at the Dallas morning news and they had a slide show of pictures.
I looked through the pictures and stoped dead in my tracks and went to tears when I saw a little boy in a refugee camp in Sarajevo.
The caption said that his parents were missing and he was the only one from his family who managed to leave Kosova.When I saw this I saw my son and thought to myself,"my god who could I have not been paying attention to whats going on?" Where have I been??
I can't believe that I had not given the situation any thought on whats going on in Kosova!!
I felt so ashamed of myself and so self counscious because I have always thought of myself as a caring person!!!
I guess I get so caught up in my life that I don't pay attention to what other people are going through who are less fortunate.
This has been a real eye opener for me.
And I think it happened just in time to me.
Now I fell funny and uncomfortable going to a nice resturant ordering a nice meal knowing there is someone has nothing to eat in a refugee camp or hiding in the woods. I feel funny now going to the mall to buy cloths knowing that someone only has the cloths on his or her back and thats it.
Tucking my baby son in at night I make it more meaningful knowing there is a child out there who will never have the chance to feel the love a mother can only give again because they are seperated or worse, dead.
I don't feel the pride driving up to my new home I just built knowing that a family just like mone has been run off from theres and all they have to be greatful for is there lives.
What the people of Kosova are going though we Americans can only imagine.
And imagining is scary enough for me.
So if you have time, Go to www.dallasnews.com and go into the photo slide show that ends April 6, and see that picture of that little boy maybe it will be an eyeopener for you or someone you know who didn't bother pay attention .

And to the people of Kosovo, good shall always rise above evil the whole world will stand up together and defeat satan so that we all live in piece.

Dear Sirs, It's hard to believe and much more harder to understand that on the brink of XXI century a nation lead by a brutal dictator is terrorising a nation in the heart of Europe. At a time when the international community, NATO and all other institutions are transforming to adapt to a new world order(hence the destruction in every field of the mighty Russia), a dictator of a poor country that has inherited precious weapons from what used to be SFR of Yugoslavia. Every indication shows that Milosevic or how I call him "the small Hitler" prepared himself for a long time for this battle. He probably even thinks the same way as Saddam does, that the battle over Kosova is the Mother of all battles. Bare in mind, 7 month before the new millennium starts Milosevic has started a crusade against the whole world. The methods are very filthy. He gets people of all ages to stand on bridges, be in factories, buildings so they won't be crushed by the mighty power of the NATO alliance. People wear some kind of badges with a target on them. These are supposed to symbolise the innocence of the Serb people. They might be everything else but God help them they are not innocent. They are afflicted by a collective madness, something the psychiatrists might win Nobel price on. Any regime can't remain in power if the people don't support it; and the Serbia's support their dictator very much. They se a God in him(so did the Lybians in Gadafi, Iraqians in Saddam and look at the state of their countries in these days). Always, in every situation, no matter how hard it might be for a country you have position and opposition. In Serbia they are united in nowadays and are fighting the same enemy:the whole world. The thing with the targets(meta-the Serbs call them) is very interesting! They show the Serb autism towards everything that is normal. As if they want to tell the west and NATO - here we are come and bomb us. But thank God all the other world thinks differently. I haven't heard of a single Serb child who was killed by a missile on his way home and on the other hand hundreds of Albanians in these days(before that Croats and Bosnia's) although they don't wear a target are killed by snipers, grenades, bombs and every other mean of fighting. All this just because they aren't Serbs. Because they have a different believe. Because they believe in equality and humanity. Not to forget this is happening 253 days before year 2000. Are prayers and hopes are with the innocent people of Kosovo who are suffering an awful tragedy but who's destiny is to be free and have no contacts with the Serbs never again.

To whomever it may concern,

My family and I are interested in helping the Kosovo Albanian refugees.
Along with our fellow Americans, we too have been affected by this crisis.
Our question is regarding the United States opening our doors to the
refugees. My husband and I would like to know if we can open our home to
any of the children who are orphaned. We have been married happily for 12
years and have 2 boys, one who is adopted. Our hearts and home are open to
other children. Please let us know what we can do to help and what our
options are.

Sincerely,

Anne M.Grote

I was of the persuasion that the United States was sticking their nose
in business where it did not belong. I felt that we (U.S.) should not be
self proclaimed policemen for the world.
All of that changed after viewing your web site and seeing the pictures
of the horrible atrocities that have befallen the Kosovar Albanians. I
could not believe what I was viewing. I called my 16 year old daughter
who had told me that she had an argument with one of her teacher at
school (she was of the same persuasion as I) and her teacher was
justifying the NATO presence, she too changed her mind after seeing the
carnage on this web site.
You will be in my prayers.

Thank you for allowing others around the world to see the images of the
genocide and be additional witnesses to this nightmare -- if people can not
see the horror, they can deny it. The truth can not be denied with these
images. God bless to all involved with hope that it will be over soon and
that people who have experienced this terror and survived can find peace.

Does the KLA have a webpage? Kind of figures it would be a good idea if the USA ends up supplying weapons and assorted goods for them. Then the disgrunted americans could visit the site and gripe more. I'm kidding around on that point mostly although some fruits would show up. Anyway I'm just wondering if you have any info on a possible KLA website for me to check out. I'm not doing too great finding one right now while browsing around. It sure seems like a strange thing to ask for but what the heck. Thanks for any help you can give me and good luck being a nice guy how ever that way of live may be. Good luck. Jim

To Whom it may concern,
I have very little to offer in the ways of monetary support. I do have
extensive military training with the US armed forces and I would like to help
in the best way I can and that is with my skills. I would like a direct roll
in fighting the evil Slobodan Milosevic. Is there some way that I could
contact someone who could help me with what I want to do? Could you put me in
contact with the right person?
I would be grateful for any help

Hello: Excellent website ... have had you on a list of Kosovo links for months now, and have additionally extended readership and publicied your documents referencing the ethnic cleansing; the Kosovo war plans; and the incidents among the kosovoars. Have had requests for references to source material for free press advocates in Serbia & Montenegro et al ... for links to or Serbian language copies of the "Blueprint for Ethnic Cleansing" and the "War Plans" etc.

We have a vacant home adjacent to where we live that could accomodate a

know if this is useful.

I just found this from cnn
It explains some nagging questions I had about peoples
seeming indifference to genocide.
While rightly protesting violation of international law
or civilian casualties of war , I notice no mention is made
of the hundreds of thousands of deaths and more hundreds
of thousands of refugees caused by Serbian aggression and
war crimes of the past 10 years in the Balkans.
Crimes have occurred on both sides and all guilty parties
should be brought to justice, but I believe that the hard
evidence shows that the Serb forces to be the most serious
violators of human rights in the area.
So I have been asking myself why has the Orthodox Christian
Nations been so strong in support of what is clearly a case of
ongoing Genocide in the name of religious nationalism and the only answer I can
come up with is that the majority of the people in those countries feel that
the life of a non Serb or non Christian is worthless to the point of not only
supporting the Serbs but of not even raising a small
of protest to the mass slaughter. Is this a Christian concept ? Is this still a

Holy war or Crusade ?
I am aware of the past genocide's and injustices committed upon the Orthodox
Peoples since the fall of Constantanople and strongly condemn them as barbarous
and as shameful as the present day tragedy, but are the past atrocities a
justification for the present ?
On another note I realize both sides are heavily engaged in a media propaganda
war, but I do notice one difference in regard to the NATO bombing campaign..
First of all that the cities of Serbia are not subjected to indiscriminate mass
bombings and total destruction like the Nazis did in WW2, secondly that it is
only in Bosnia and Kosovo where I see destroyed cities, villages, and mass
graves left in de populated areas.
The Serbs claim that they are the victims in this. Well where are the graves
and why not show the destroyed cities on film if they exist...
There has been innocent civilian casualties occurred by the Nato air strikes
and this is also a sad part of the tragedy of this war. I pray for an end to
the brutality and for the end of century after century of Killing in the name
of Religion of ethnic identify.
May God bless and protect the oppressed in Kosova and the innocent in
Serbia.

I would like to know more about the religion aspects of this conflict. The
religious background. How did all started??? History tells us, that
religion originated conflicts never end. Is religion just fiction to get
over wealth and territory???
I will appreciate your comments and where can I find more information about
religion history and economic aspects of this country.
Thank you

dogs.
There's not much we can do to help you,but you are all in my prayers.

To Whom It May Concern:

In The Miami Herald newspaper, April 23, 1999, I read of this web site. I
reside in Miami, Florida, USA.

We in America cannot understand the Serb atrociticies on the Albanians. The
Serb people remind us in America of the Germans of World War II. The
Germans, too, were in DENIAL that Hitler's leadership and regime was "ethnic
cleansing." Why are the Serbs in DENIAL?

My tax dollars are at work trying to stop Milosevic. We Americans support
NATO. We have learned from World War II NOT TO LET A MILOSEVIC continue his
atrocities. We hope the Albanians are grateful to NATO.

The Albanians are in the thoughts and prayers of the American people.

Dear Sirs, I am writing to you on behalf of 14 mexican families from La Paz,
Baja California Sur, Mexico. We are all adult professionals, married, well
established and with a solvent income. Most of us have children.

The intention of this message is to express our wish of being for some help
towards the children of Kosovo. This is why I want to let you know that each
one of us families are willing to accept kosovarian children in permanent or
temporal adoption, at least while the location of their families is in
course. If their families are located we would give them back, if not, we
will keep them as our own.

I would greatly appreciate any indication from you about the matter.

Thank you very much in advance for your kind attention.

Sincerly yours,

Our family prays for all of the Kosova displaced people daily. Our
hearts go out to your people and we just wish there was more we could
physically do to help. As it is, praying is all we can do, but prayer
is a great deal I guess. God is more powerful than anything and can do
ALL THINGS and I feel in my heart he will come to your people's aid. I
know it is easy for me to say God's love will see you through all these
horrors but we serve a MIGHTY GOD and I feel he WILL come to your aide.
We are unable to contribute financially at this time, but if there is
anything we can do, please let us know. Eventually NATO will put a stop
to that Maniac once and for all.

To Whom it may concern: I came upon your web site tonight and read some of your accounts of the war in Kosovo..Dear Lord! God Bless You all..Living in America, I cannot begin to imagine what is truly going on over there having their homes burned, forced out, tormented, raped and you name it. But my heart goes out to you all. Thank you for that web site. It is like being there reading all your seemingly first hand reports. Very sincerely your, Kay Augustson, USA

I have never read such ignorance as that from the "Pro-Serbian
Letters." This is the reason that people still have to fight for
freedom that is their GOD given right. My heart goes out to the many
people of Kosovo. I would like to receive information pertaining to
volunteer work and let these people know that we are keeping them in our
prayers. I also pray for the day that I see a bomb dropped on that evil
man.

I am a Muslim from Pakistan. I am extremely sadened to hear what is
happening to the Muslims of Kosovo at the hands of the Serbian devils. I
pray that Allah helps the Muslims of Kosovo and Albania to be victorious
against the Serbs, however I am very sad that the Muslim world today is not
coming to aid of our Muslim brethern in Kosovo and Albania. I feel that
Allah will not help the Muslims because we are not following the Quran as a
people ( I mean the Muslim world) we have no unity, we are not honest towards
each other, etc. When Muslims were one brotherhood we were a very powerful
force in the world but now muslims countries are fighting each other. At
this time we muslims should send muslims fighters to Kosovo from every muslim
country and fight the Christian devils. Allah will then grant us victory
against the non believers. I wish I could go to Kosovo to help fight the
Serbs. In fact it is the duty of every true muslim to help his/her brethern
from oppression. May Allah unite the Islamic world so we can be one
fighting unit against the Christian devils and then and only then will Allah
grant us victory.

Your Muslim Brother,

Salik Alvi

I understand that some of the refugees from Kosovo will be coming to the
United States. I would like to adopt a baby or small child and give
them a warm, loving home. I live in Pennsylvania, I'm a 46 year old
single female and have alot of love to give to a child. I have no
children of my own, but I share a home with my sister and her 6 year old
son (whom I have helped raise since birth).

My home and my heart are open to a child at a moments notice.

Thank you,

This is another letter of support for Kosova.

Allow me to add my voice now to the millions of other who are outraged at the treatment of the ethnic albanians in kosovo.

As a member of the United States Armed Forces, it is my right, and obligation to send warplanes against serbian aggression.

To this end I am committed.

Nato and the world community is committed to ending aggression in the balkans once and for all.

To all my serbian enemies in Kosovo: I hope you sleep well tonite, but watch the sky's over Kosovo,

I will be sending you a gift.

Yesterday night ( 10pm, French hour ), the first refugees landed in my area
( 100 miles at NW of Paris ). Mass media all reported that, apart the
language barrier, the main thing they ask for is finding their acquaintaces
and/or relatives in France. I personnally subscribed to your ML with the
great hope to find some France-located contacts and help the best I can

--

we constantly hear of the albanians plight in New Zealand on our news bullitans.it makes me mad to see what the serbs are doing to them.if there is any way i can help please let me know.I believe our government has offered to take some refugees into our country.if this is not enough I will take a family in myself.So once again if I can help let me know.

I am writing to you willing all my support for albanians in KOSOVA.
I am an albanian who doesn't know anything about his family threatened in
the war , to be clearer, in the worst tragedy ever since .
I have three sisters , two brothers and my parents in Kosova . I know that
they are there , because if they were somewhere in these camps they would
give me a ring at least . I know my father would do it .
I can't work , I can't concentrate in anything , I am lost ...
To be an albanian from Kosova is ;to be proud of one very old history and
tradition , to be proud of BESA , to be proud of'' myth of sizif ''.
But in current days a great number of kosovars are out of Kosova in the
other countries of Europe. They know what BESA means . They have got a
moral to fight for their freedom .
God bless all , who are helping our country .
Long live KLA.

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to contact a recruitment representative for the
Kosovo Liberation Army, and would appreciate any assistance
you can provide. I am appalled by the news of genocide being
carried out in Kosovo, and believe the NATO airstikes, while
possibly being successful in the long term, will not succeed
quickly enough. I would like to speak with a KLA recruitment
representative to determine if I'm the type of person the KLA
might be looking for.

Thank you,

What will happen to those refugees who do NOT find their relatives in America or those already in America who do not find their relatives in the crowd? Will any of the refugees be allowed to take housing with people like me who are unrelated but sympathetic? What are the consequences for both parties? How do we reach one another---the giver of aid and the reciever? Suzanne
