It is just a personal observation, but many of the troops based in Kosovo value their experience simply because of the sense of control it gives them and free girls every night. Free girls, or girls for littlemoney- both are flourishing in kosovo. I have been a witness to the left boot substituted by the right boot. they are the same brand. Of course it is up to the individual. The feeling of being an American in the Balkans was always one of a superiority. Lets look deeper. And Balkan hospitality is notoriously famous. Is it better to die free or live as a slave.Who knows? Peace is the best!!! I pray for brotherhood on the Balkans. But some people( serbs, albanians, etc) think that they are (more) superiour to others.And they get support- from different parties.Somebody has an interest in this. Who? God? Wake up, Brothers of Centuries- We have slaughtered each other for many wars .Only We can stop it. Why noone remmembers the little girl raped and killed? Was not she a victim as well. There are no words, no justifications for anyone here- there is only ONE thing- My Dear Albanian Brothers- and it is called Personal Consciousness. God bless you, us and let peace on earth. --- albsa-info-request at alb-net.com wrote: > Send ALBSA-Info mailing list submissions to > albsa-info at alb-net.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > http://www.alb-net.com/mailman/listinfo/albsa-info > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > albsa-info-request at alb-net.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > albsa-info-admin at alb-net.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ALBSA-Info digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
