Subject: RE: BS: Stolen Greek art
I don't care what you call the ancient Greeks! Whatever their name, it was they who created the works, not the Turks, Germans, Chinese, Australians, Irish, Norwegians, Lapps, Japanese, or any other people.

It has been said that if you can't see the others point of view, you would make a good lawyer. That's not a compliment.

Maybe someday some rich American will buy Hadrians Wall like they did the old London Bridge. Can you imagine the discussion hundreds of years from now?

Did the Tsar have the right to sell Alaska to America? or the French to sell a huge portion of Indian land to America? Did America have a right to start a war with Mexico and confiscate another huge hunk of land? Do the native Americans have a moral right to that land? It's all opinion.
