"I can't let what happened to me happen to this baby," says Pavle. "You must try to change history."

Pavle's mother and grandmother are already boxing up clothes to ship for the new child.

And what did his father, Rade, say when he learned Pavle was now a papa?
"My father was terrific. He said, 'Don't call me a grandfather just yet. I too need to be tested for grandfatherhood.'"

Then Rade spoke to Pavle as a father to his son: "Welcome to the club."
Pavle smiled.
The father and his son now shared a new life.

Lets not forget that prior to NATO bombing Serbia, they LIED and said that over 100K Albanians were Killed by the serbs. In the end the true figures proved to be much different. Less than 2500 killed on ALL sides of a one year civil war. What amazes me is that after that lie, the lies about Iraqs WMD's, After the lies about Sadaams connection with 911 etc etc Its amazing that people still buy into everything they hear on the media. Stop being cattle and open your eyes!
