I'm not bothered or critizing the context. Only bothered my country name is depicted with a non true scenario.

>But you need to read my e-mail in context. Whether or not it happened is not the issue. Nursing resentment is the issue. Of course people might nurse resentments about the "Armenian experience" in Turkey and all the other examples I gave. For example, by far the most recent "grievance" I quoted is the French bombing of a ship in a New Zealand harbour. This was less than 20 years ago, large numbers of living NZ'ers were right there. I suppose NZ could nurse grievances and "hate" France, but we've put it behind us now. Unlike others who still nurse grievances that apparently occurred generations ago.

>My point is that we cannot change the past and nursing grievances is an obstacle to progress and improvement. Look around the world to where cultural, religions or racist resentments are nursed and you will see I am right... even if I have only read the extensive American and German reports made by observers at the time re the Armenian experience in Turkey, rather than the latest textbook written in Turkish ;-)
