		Decani, also I might add that perhaps the point here is to find something to help break up the power base that made the decision to go to war.
		Decani's not trying to convince anyone of anything, unless it's how much he cares about one group of people by not caring about another.
		Decani's venom should be reserved for the people that sent these soldiers to do the job, and the few that are "enlightened or aware" enough of the moral wrongness of their actions.

		Founded in 1327 by King Stefan Uros III, the most venerated member of the Nemanjic dynasty, the monastery of Decani stood at the heart of medieval Serbia: near the seat of the patriarchate and at the intersection of an important trade route connecting Dalmatian coastal towns with the Balkan hinterland.

		Belgrade, June 22 (Tanjug) - At least six grenades fell on the property of the Monastery of Decani near the church, between midnight and 1.00 a.m., Serbian Orthodox Church Information Department stated today.
