Just got this from a friend in Guatemala.  Thought I'd share it.  Something 
to think about.

              Subject: my side of the story

             Hello everyone! I am student from Architectural Faculty,
             University of
             Belgrade, Yugoslavia. I spent great time in Porto Alegre by the
             end on the
             year 1997.

             Some terrible things are happening to me and my people (Serbs)
             and I wanted
             to tell you my side of the story.

              My people is in a very bad position: on one side, there is our
              government that absolutely does not care about anything except
             about how
             to
             save their own positions. We don't support this government.
             Belgrade (the
             capital) did not vote for them. Not to mention that we are 
under
             media
             blockade for very, very long time, and that our elections were
             never fair.
             In one word - this government WAS NOT OUR CHOICE.

              On the other side there is USA (NATO forces), which is
             determined to ruin
             everything that stands on its way. Do you really believe that
             they are
             concerned about human rights and things like that ? The real
             reason for
             their actions are: strategic positions (spreading to the 
eastern
             part of
             Europe, and making "conflict areas" in the middle of Europe in
             order to
             retain stronger than European Community) as well as economy
              reasons (spreading the market and selling the old weapons).

              Did you know that they are bombing us with radioactive
             materials which are
             secondary products of their nuclear industry? Did you know, 
that
             during the
             war in Bosnia (country next to Yugoslavia), USA bombarded this
             territory
             and
             that women from this areas have defected babies born today? Do
             you still
             believe that they are fighting for human rights?

              We are in terrible position. If they are fighting only against
             our
             government why are they attacking civilians? Do we really need
             this
             aggression? Don't they have any other way to persuade our
             president to
             negotiate? Do we, civilians, have to suffer because of wrong
             government on
             one side and aggressive ways of USA to realize their strategic
             and economic
             goals on the other?

              We only want to live our lives normally. To work, have fun,
             have
              families, have healthy children. We are normal people that is
             very tired
             of
             everything that is going on here in the last ten years.

              Please, help us, by spreading our side of the story all over
             the world..
             Tell this to your friends in Brazil and in the other countries.

              Anything that you do can be helpful.

              Help us only by thinking. Remember, this can happen to any 
poor
             nation..
              World should not be a jungle.
              Thank You for Your time. Truly,

              Marija Marjanovic
