TOO GREEK ORTHODOX....why they are doing wonderful work for Serbian chiLdren in Bosnia right now. I love the Greek Orthodox Church...and Greeks. They have done so much for Serbian refugees in this country. I have always received help from them ANYTIME I asked.

Bishop Alexios of Atlanta and the women's charity arm of the Church, filled a 40 foot shipping container this past Summer that was sent to help refugees from KosovO who are now in Serbia.

One must understand....MANY ORTHODOX PEOPLE IN THE USA ARE HELPING THE SERBIAN REFUGEES HERE AND IN SERBIA.

PUT YOUR POLITICS ASIDE....THE SERBIANS NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET.....NOT JUST FROM YOU AND OTHER SERBS.

You have no corner on the "helping Serbians market". You may not like all their ways....but remember, YOU are not in charge of all assistance to the SERBIAN people.

What I am doing is for a great cause, why you do not come on board and make this a success? I may have strong political views, but I put those aside very easily. You may feel I am too one-sided, but I have given food and clothing too the "enemy"- the Bos Muslims before, Crazy. Why, when I am on the other side when they want to get rid of my kind? I do not like when others go hungry nor without clothing/shelter. That is where my sympathy lies, with the innocent people. The only ones I have never helped are the Croats, there really hasnt been a need too at this point. These "local" good Serbian people of my community helped build that fricking new hall the Croats have.

There is an abundant amount of underground politics you may not be aware of, crzy. It is in existant around you and arent even aware of it, trust me. Ever here of "The Serbian Underground" where I am from? Ask around.

You may not fathom the significance of the Pedal in Peace, this can put and bring to the spotlight the plight of the Serbian Children who are refugees. This has not happened accept here in the safe USA. Anyone can do what the IOCC riders did, plenty of support and comfortable surroundings, etc... With the doubt you cast only hinders the success we all can bring to these kids. These are kids who will not have a normal upbringing like we had. Is it that you do not care to make this into a large media frenzy where the kids are the story, crazy?
