AT Dunkirk in 1940, 300,000 British soldiers were in the same predicament as the Kosovo Albanians and we managed to bring them home.

Over the past two weeks £3-4 billion has been spent on bombs and missiles. Stop the bombing and concentrate on saving the suffering thousands of refugees.

Fleets of buses, trains and coaches could be sent from NATO countries to transport them to safety in Austria, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and the UK. Liners could be used to get some to the USA from the ports in Albania.

We can find money for killing. Let's spend some on saving these poor people. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait should also be prepared to take some refugees.

Why is this world becoming a giant lunatic asylum where money is more important than people's lives? The politicians of this world seem to be going mad.
