Subject: Gladstone said.
Why William Gladstone the great statesman of Great Britain was not heard
when he said: as there is a Greece for Greeks, as there is a Bulgaria
for the Bulgarians, Serbia for the Serbians, should be a Macedonia for
the Macedonians. William Gladstone preferred negotiations on conflicts
rather than "settlements" by war. No wonder he could not "pass the bill"
to settle the Irish problem in the last century.

He called for a multiethnic Macedonian state (similar to Switzerland), but he never recognized a separate 'Macedonian' ethnicity. He wanted the Albanians, Armenians, Bulgarians, Greeks, Jews, Romas, Serbs, Turks and Vlachs to live in one state, and not have Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia fight destructive wars over contested Ottoman territory.
You're wrong again Lin.

The ancient Hellenic heritage has been stretched to such extremes, it has become a subject of ridicule around the World. A free society cannot continue under the shadows of ancient glory and myth, the chains of Hellenism have compromised the sense of freedom and reality. The concept of self-criticism is a remote idea from the national Greek psyche.
