<< I don't know what your angle is, but you certainly appear to have an axe to grind. >>

I witness the brutality and inhumanity of Slob Milosevic's military forces on innocent families and my heart breaks. I can't stand the thought of so many families being driven from their homes. I can't stand the thought of so many diabetic or asthmatic children going without their medicine or food or water, because of the atrocities of the Serb Police thugs.

My angle is that there is very little I can do to help. I can donate money, which I do. But, when I see so many people justifying the brutality of the Serbs, or just being indifferent to the suffering of so many, I feel compelled to speak up.

Also, this is the first time that NATO has tried to rescue a people from genocide. This makes me very proud of the current leaders within NATO. When I see people making ignorant and degrading comments about the NATO freedom fighters, it turns my stomach.

Tonight, while we sleep comfortably in the safety of our beds, hundreds of thousands of Kosovo Albanians are suffering in inhumane conditions and subject to inhumane treatment at the hands of the Serbs. Can civilized people afford to say nothing? Should NATO do nothing?
