----------------- Starts HERE ------------------------


To the president of the United States of America,
The honorable George W. Bush


Dear Mr. President,

Recent labeling of the Albanians living in Macedonia and Southern Serbia as 
terrorists by the International Community is just another mistake and 
injustice that the world is making towards the Albanian people. Let us not 
forget, Mr. President that back in 1998, when President Clinton's top 
Balkans envoy, Robert Gelbard, testified in front of the Untied States 
Congress, and amongst others he said..

"I know a terrorist when I see one, and the KLA (KOSOVO LIBERATION ARMY) is 
a terrorist group"

These words gave the green light to the Serbian regime to unleash the now 
famous "Horse Shoe" operation against the Albanians in Kosova, which 
prompted 72 days of NATO Bombings.

I strongly urge you, and your administration to refrain from using the word 
"terrorist" or "terrorism" as such accusations will indeed give green lights 
to the Slavs and their militaries to unleash a similar attack on the 
Albanian population, including civilians.

Mr. President!
Let's go back in time to the year 1878. Let's remember that Kosova, Western 
Macedonia, Southern Serbia a portion of Eastern Montenegro were lands 
belonging to the Albanian Nation. Let us remember the Conference of London 
in 1913, where the Major European powers gave those lands to the Slavic 
nations, undermining this way the will of the Albanian People. You can only 
keep a nation against its will for freedom for so long, Mr. President. 
Decades and even centuries of repression by Slavic states, against the 
Albanian people are finally becoming known. The world is realizing that 
without the resolution of the problem of the Albanians in the Balkans, there 
will never be peace and stability in the region.

In 1995, United States managed to secure a deal in Bosnia, hence the Dayton 
agreement in 1995. That agreement did not even touch the problem of Kosova, 
which 3 years later erupted in a all-out war. In 1998, NATO brokered a deal 
with Milosevic about Kosova, but yet again, it did not touch the issue of 
the Albanian people living outside Kosova.

Mr. President!
Some two hundred twenty years ago the American people chose revolution 
instead of living under the British rule, repressed without freedom. Years 
of repression by the Britons resulted in armed revolution, which 
consequently gave the United States freedom and Independence. Repression 
brings Revolution, Mr. president. Not the other way around. Albanian people 
would have never chosen arms instead of dialogue if it wasn't for years of 
repression by the Slav nations, which until recently were lead by the most 
notorious criminal in Europe since the end of the World War II, Slobodan 
Milosevic.


Sincerely,
Mentor Mala
