Sheblames the media for not covering the Kosovo issue in more depth.McQuillen doesn’t believe apathy is why Americans aren’t more concernedabout what is going on in Kosovo. She says they’re not hearing the wholestory.The American Friends Service Committee is a alliance of religious and otherorganizations.
