	The goverment represent the will of the people. This is a case 
were it is very true. You might find a greek (although I doubt it) that is
ignorant about part of the policies of the Greek goverment but it will be very hard to find one that disagrees completely with the goverment with makedonia.

	Goes to show what a good argument you can make. You can find a paper 
that states that Makedoniahad nothing to do with Greece. You beeaved that too.

	What and Denmark is a success ? Greece is at a trouble spot. The reason that Europe exists is the fact that Greece was at that trouble spot to

 by the EEC.

	So what, how much is given to the x-soviet union ?
How about to all countries in need ? How about to southern Italy.
Spain, portugal, Irland. Do you have a problem with that. 
Maybe we should never send money to Skopjia, or Somalia.
Greece approves economic support, it has helped Albania. 
	Why do you post these ????
