However, not fear but hope must drive you. After recycling history, pain and fear, you must go forward by hope, dreams and possibilities. You must do a bigger thing than fight. Do a bigger thing than express the will to die, the will to live and the will to save. Now is the time.
Timing is critical.
There is a great interest in Yugoslavia now. You are center stage. You have the power to alter the course of history with the release of these soldiers and a diplomatic initiative that can solve your biggest problem in Kosovo and perhaps spare your nation. And thus a letter to our President and an appeal to me. Before the hand is extended because of fear or prayer, diplomacy or bombing, I hope, the hand is not cut off.
