Excellent post Thameem .

I have always had a very limited knowledge on what is a very complicated and emotive subject, my knowledge extending only as far as what I have seen on Western European news programmes I'm afraid.

I would not worry about the allegations of bias in your post.... the majority of GE historical posts could be viewed as biased, depending on what the poster's interpretation of history is. If anyone has the knowledge and time to create another post with different viewpoint then it would be great.

What I like especially about your post is that is has not degraded into a verbal battle and trading of insults that has caused the Mods to lock other posts previously. Lets hope it can continue to bring mixed, but polite views on the subject.

I not too sure that I am any clearer about the subject, but your post has certainly opened my mind to the difficulties in that part of the world.

Well done
