Quote:I think that is most likely the smallest of issues, think of the squabbels between Greece and Turkey about certain small Islands, or Cyprus! Have a look what is still bubbeling in the Balkan states. Most likely most countries could present "old bills", and that is especially so in Europe, as at some time, some one from almost every Europeen country went stomping through other peoples countries. Is just the question how long do people want to present these "old bills", WWII, WWI, Napoleonic wars, the thirty year war, the roman invasions, recent archeological excavations have shown that even in times way before the romans large scale invasions and massacars have taken place. Anyone seriously think, things are going to improve, by slapping on the table time and again, these sad things from the past?Quote:The Greeks should stop acting so childish about the Macedonians using Alexander the Great for their own benefit.I wonder if we ought not to lump an entire culture going back at least 3000 years into the same bag here. How is it we are able to declare an entire nation/historical nation "childish"?
