(Wonkette) Asinine Apparently international foreign policy is being controlled by a group of cliquish 13 yr olds because NATO won't let Macedonia join unless it changes it's name. Suggest a new name. VE   (wonkette.com) divider line 107

Alexander is a huge bone of contention. Greece and Macedonia each claim him as their favorite son. Recent evidence places him as a Macedonian.

"Macedonia gained its independence peacefully from Yugoslavia in 1991, but Greece's objection to the new state's use of what it considered a Hellenic name and symbols delayed international recognition, which occurred under the provisional designation of "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." In 1995, Greece lifted a 20-month trade embargo and the two countries agreed to normalize relations. The United States began referring to Macedonia by its constitutional name, Republic of Macedonia, in 2004 and negotiations continue between Greece and Macedonia to resolve the name issue."

Why does our foreign policy constantly revolve around countries that will Never Forget. Most the Mideast hasn't finished fighting a war with Macedonia, but by gawd well give 'em Democracy.

Interesting. I have Greek blood so I would love to agree with them but really, who cares about what they call their country?

The problem is that the Greek province of Macedonia is filled with ethnic Slavs, sometimes referred to as "Slavomacedonians". Besides being prideful (blame it on Alexanderism), ethnic Greeks are also a little worried about Macedonian separatists.
