Dear Muris,

THANK YOU for the kind tone of your letter. Maybe it is sensless to continue,
but I am not giving up because:

1) the bombs are falling not on someone other's heads but on OUR heads!

2) I am not trying to cover my bad consciousness: I do not have a bad
consciousness! I just feel helpless and outraged like you!

3) and I don't devide people into US and THEM. I do not think we (myself and
you, Muris) are on the opposite sides. I am a Yugoslav: not a Serb, not a
Croatian, not a Muslim Slav or if you prefer, a Bosnian, not anything
like that: just a YUGOSLAV: I don't have a country now, cannot even fight for
it, I don't want to go into any of the NATIONALISTIC STATES and always
be regarded as ONE OF THEM....

There are millions of YUGOSLAVS like me... and millions of those who have
forced themselves to devide their own souls and become just ONE of the
nationalities they also belong to. These people will never be able
to live in peace with themselves (that is called schizophrenia in psychology)
and will be sick for years. And if you can live with that: so be it! I am
just sorry for all the children who will have to grow up in such "liberated"
countries like Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Monte Negro, Slovenia, Macedonia...
where you will have to be suspicious of everyone whose name looks like
maybe THEIRS, where there are MINORITIES with different rights, where
there are checkpoints on every step you take.... THAT has a simple name:
fascism!

All the people who are dying now, who died until now died because of
the HATRED... If you cannot see that, if not only you but larger number
of people cannot see that simple fact, than the hatred will prevail. Yes
you will survive, ultimately everybody will *survive*...  But how! The
only winner will be the pereptual hatred... Well, live with it! 

>Muris

as for me, I'll repeat and repeat and repeat, to you and to all who read this:

                          === DESERT ===
                       ==== DON'T KILL ===


With hopes for peace
