Wow really?
AOL misspelled Stalingrad?
Even funnier, if you search aol, hotbot, lycos, cnn, for the name "Chloe
Arnold" and/or
"Thousands of Russians volunteer to fight in Kosovo"
you don't get any hits, nothing, nada.
Try it yourself.
Of course Im sure as I check the rest of my e-mail several people will have
already commented
on this, confirmed it, and forwarded to to all their friends.
No No, let me take that back, Im sure all of you educated people checked
this just like I did
since it took 5 seconds...
Thank god everyone on the Internet shows such common sense.
Now to those of you that didn't, please forward this message to the people

Thousands of Russians volunteer to fight in Kosovo
>By Chloe Arnold
in London
>Serb armies could soon be joined by thousands of Russian volunteers keen to
>fight against NATO forces. Russians from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok are
>signing up in their thousands to fly to Kosovo to protect their Slav brothers
>from the NATO onslaught.
>
>To encourage volunteers to join the war, Andrei Manilov, head of the youth
>section of the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, has set up offices
>all over the country. Even as I spoke to him, the number of volunteers rose
>from 2,700 to around 3,500. Telephone lines were only opened on Wednesday
>evening as the bombs began to fall.
>
>"People are outraged by what is happening in Serbia," he said. "This is
>exploitation - despotism - on behalf of the Americans and British. This may
>even herald the beginning of the third world war."
>
>Russians are so keen to fight alongside the Serbs, because Russia and Serbia
>are traditional allies, Manilov said.
>
>Rumours are flying that the Russian government is trying to avoid a head-on
>confrontation with NATO, because they are currently negotiating a multi-
>billion dollar loan with the International Monetary Fund.

>But with hundreds of protesters pelting eggs and jars of ink at the American
>embassy in Moscow, and embassy officials advising staff to buy open tickets
>home in case of emergency, the country is becoming increasingly volatile.

>Manilov said the Liberal Democratic Party was working closely with the
>Yugoslav embassy to finalise preparations for the volunteers to fly to Kosovo.
>People from all walks of life, some with children, some even with
>grandchildren have signed up. But he said only those with a strong military
>background will be sent to the war zone.

>"There has been an explosion of patriotism in this country nobody would have
