It is my belief that as a rule large “corporate structured” non-profit organizations and NGO's are more concerned about being profitable so that they can pay salaries in fancy offices and a lot less concerned about membership donations going to "the" cause.

The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) mourns the unfortunate passing of Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke, a distinguished American diplomat and friend to Macedonia and the Southeast European region.

Isn't Holbrooke the guy that was pictured bare-footed sitting down with KLA extremists in Kosovo, the same extremists who started a war in Macedonia only a year or so later? What did he do during his time to support Macedonia and/or Macedonians? And why does the UMD mourn him? Or is this the US-lackey thing kicking in again?

In his book, which you are peddling, he continuously referes to Macedonia under the FYROM terminology. He also claims that Macedonian is "virtually identical to Bulgarian" (p. 122). Holbrooke, in his book, also felt that the sonce being on our flag was a provocation. There are many other "gems" in his book, but, this all accords with your views, so as usual, this is unsurprising.

UMD mourns people who negate Macedonians and support our enemies..........yeah, not suprising at all.

Maybe in his haste to make a quick buck, Meto forgot to read the book?

Holbrooke was hardly a friend to Macedonia, he was close to UCK and was one of the main culprats in the 2001 war.

We may not agree with everything Holbrooke did, especially the 1995 flag change push, which UMD does not agree with, however, that does not change the fact that he was a friend of Macedonia.

Vangelovski - you may wish to note that his book was written in 1999. Read the Johns Hopkins University lecture quotes of Holbrooke - it proves a changed view, which is applaudable.
