Michel, 

I will reply to your post one of these days. I totally missed it, and just

And BeeJay smiles (;-))))))))))))).

I'm first born and my father was a Hungarian Freedom Fighter during the
1956 Uprising. My mother also escaped during this time and met my father
at Camp Kilmer New Jersey where some of the refugees where kept. Almost
95% of my family is still there.  More than ever now I would like to
learn my native language.  Is there a way to do this by way of mail
order cassettes, schools, etc.?  Please let me know.

No, we can call you "stupid" or "unrealistic"; but naive, nah.

Here is an example -- he doesn't understand what the word "bunkrupt"
means.
I've explained this to him.

I agree about the space being too small, I prefer the 737s, but what
else would you want to eat on a 2 hrs flight. < Besides I find the

You can start much research here in US.  Since you have no birth family
information to draw upon, I recommend that you visit The Church of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints, yes, the Mormans.  They have
computerized, micrfilmed, and catalogued much information from around the
world.  They sould be able to get you started on some information.  I also
recommend that you visit the WorldGen Hungary web page.  There's not much
on it at this time, but you could post the surname you're researching and
see what kind of response you get.

Thanks, Andrew. It is indeed Zsirozas, and the rules are at:

http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/pagat/sedma/zsirozas.html

The word translates to mean "grease" (which is close to "lard")

I would dig into the contemporary HIX or HIRMONDO archives to start
with.

Sure.  Something like when Zbigniew Brzezynski held that post, though I
didn't care for his close association with Kissinger & Co.  I wonder if
Albright comes from the same crowd.

Actually, I believe a wise move.  Whether those arms were better than
the ones in the standard arsenal, it was in our national interest to aid
an old associate, Croatia.  If we weren't going to fight the Serbs to
protect the Hungarians in Croatia and Vajdaság, the least we could was
to help prevent complete Serbian hegemony in the region.  This was such
a basic concept, I was dumfounded to hear opposition to the move while I
was in Hungary.

To betray one's nation and national security for lowly and narrow
political interests IS close to treason. Isn't treason betrayal of a
nation?

Well, not just the Middle East, but think of the Japanese, for instance.
But if she has the nerves of Thatcher or Golda Meyr, she can handle it.
