One commander, known as "Mjekrra" (" the beard" in Albanian), interviewed this month at a monastery high on a bluff overlooking eastern Macedonia said, "They can't fight with us. Their paramilitaries will fight with civilians - but not with us." A teenage combatant at the rebel camp looked scornfully down at a police base in the valley below, then added, "If the Macedonians lose one son or brother they will stop fighting."

He?s a thin, wiry guy who runs marathons and enjoys "century" bike races. But after Everest, he?s twenty pounds lighter than normal. At least those little tufts sticking out of his cheeks gave some definition to his gaunt features. His beautiful pale blue eyes sat deep inside hollow eye sockets that were rimmed with black cuts created when his goggles froze to his face...
