So they respond to claims of genocide with threats of ethnic cleansing? Terrible. Just terrible. Tom Send a noteboard - 18/03/2010 11:39:31 AM
Why is Turkey so insistent about denying a very dark page in their history? Most countries - indeed, all healthy ones - can generally admit to injustices that are 100 years old or so. No one has even asked them to admit their atrocities against the Kurds committed in my lifetime.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Your problem is that a "settlement freeze" doesn't impress anyone at all. Legolas - 18/03/2010 07:16:55 PM 365 Views
Maybe we should just ask the Palestinians if we can keep Tel Aviv ? AgentOrange - 18/03/2010 07:44:07 PM 344 Views
