[pct-l] crisis

>Dear Fellow Hikers,  it is critical that we take our noses out of gear
>catalogs and take our eyes off the trail to put some of our attention on
>the Kosovo crisis.  It is so easy to be unaware of what goes on in the
>world and the role that the US plays in international affairs.  This war is
>senseless and above all dangerous.  The US is playing a game of violence
>and destruction, and violence simply begets violence.  We are all familiar
>with the natural law of action and reaction, it is very clear that these
>actions spell trouble for us.  The US feels very invincible, but we can see
>right now that any sovereign nation, big or small can be the target of this
>kind of destruction at any time.  All the nations that are involved in
>perpetrating the violence in Yugoslavia are in danger of reaping what they
>sow.  The violence there is only getting worse,only adding fuel to the
>fire.  The only solution lies in neutralizing the cause of violence.  Tell
>your congress people that you do not support these actions,  Every person
>counts and national opinion counts.  Please don't underestimate this.  It
>is so important.  For other ways to help go to  the following website
