A little country names themselves "Macedonia" and now the Greeks are going crazy over it. Why? Who really cares what a little country calls itself? What's the problem?
Greece is already using the name? So what? Who cares? We have a city in the USA named Athens. Are the Greeks going to demand we change it?
Do they think this tiny little nation might someday want to conquer Macedonia, Greece, and start a war? Are they nuts? Greece is part of NATO- nobody is going to attack Greece as long as NATO holds, because anyone who attacks Greece will have to answer to the USA, the UK, the Poles, the Dutch, the Danes, and the Italians- WE will protect Greece because WE still remember what alliances are about.
Are they afraid aircraft and ships will go to the wrong Macedonia because the pilots and navigators get confused? Not a problem- we have New Mexico, and across the border is Mexico, and very few people get confused.
Who really cares what "FYROM" chooses to call itself. It is a free nation, the people there can call their nation whatever they want. If they want to call it Macedonia, North Greece, Lala-land, or even the United States of Former Yugoslavia, who cares?
Okay, they can't name it Disneyland, because that's a trademark name.
The Greeks need to take some medication and find a REAL problem to worry about because the name of a little country on their border is NOT a problem. |
