Just a quick note: The Albanians and the Muslims have displaced Serbian natives from Kosovo over many years, and with horrendous methods. As it stands the Albanian population wants to be able to vote, as did Montenegro did recently, to vote for independence. But this is not a fair election process as the Serbians have been forcibly removed from their lands and the population of Kosovo artificially increased by Albanians over many years using nefarious methods. The United States and other western countries want Kosovo to be independent to destabilize not only Serbia but other countries in the area. The resources that the Balkans have are very attractive to the West .Russia's emergence as a democratic leader is a threat to those interest as is Serbian and other Balkan countries self-hegemony in their own back yard. Spiritually there is a bigger picture, a more compelling understanding, however; these issues is what is on the surface. So please make yourselves informed and write your congressman. I don't know how to write to the other Orthodox Churches about this. As citizens of the United States we ought to make our voices heard. The United States, which in my opinion is trangressing its own democratic values, is conducting this foreign policy in the name of its people, that is in the name of you and me. Although it is documented that U.S. Congress only listens to those populations which it views can affect its chances of being re-elected, still, we must show that we are aware. I'm not afraid to say, that as a United States citizen, I'm very glad for the emergence of such people as Putin and Kostunica, and others like them in other historically Orthodox countries.

In Christ
