Obviously you disagree with me...

But in my years of volunteering and being involved in the financial aspects of non profit organizations I still have never EVER seen an organization being able to give 100% of its donations to its stated goals......For you to write that AND put it in CAPS is simply misleading and probably fraudulent!

> our volunteers and Anthony Elgindy have found to be the most
totally legitimate in the country

Most or totally legitimate, which one is it? It is a fact that lots of this aid (especially more in Albania than Macedonia) gets siphoned off and never reaches its intended recipients.

> Mr. Papadopoulos, it is your right to support the Serbs in this conflict and to mention any pro-Serbian group organizing marches against the bombing

Pro-Serbian group? Mine is a pro-peace group...Since you accuse my group of being a Pro-Serbian group, could your group be a Pro-Albanian group?

> I have stated many times that if I were able, I would gladly donate to any organization providing aid to any Serbian children.

Why are you not able to do that, or at least acknowledge the suffering the bombing has brought to all these people in the region?

> None of our donations are stolen by the Albanian mafia or KLA, as people we know and trust go and buy food themselves. If contributions to Mother Tereza were being stolen, they would not be able to feed the 41,000 people they are keeping alive.

I truly hope so.

> I've read enough and watched my best friend suffer enough from what he's seen over there to
feel temper near the surface when a total jackass such as Mr. Papadopoulos dares to
undermine what we are trying to do.

I love you too.

Stop the bombing and all the suffering it has caused so we can start some real peace by bringing first all the Kosovars home!!
