Steve....very good point... I had forgotten about the energy stranglehold russia has on Europe. I don't think the yanks can afford another war just yet...especially as they seem to have Iran in their radar next... :D

Bit like middle ages when kings had champions, the champions fought not the kings.
Today the champions are Iraq, Iran, Israel, Egypt Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan etc, the kings (USSR/USA) never fought they just supplied their champions to try out the latest generation of weapons.
At least under the iron curtain we didn't have east europeans swamping the country.

Offending your sensibilities by having a flag as an Avatar...give me a break...Nothing wrong with the Greek flag!! It's beautiful...how about a brother from 2 diffennt mothers?

I never said that there was anything wrong with the Greek flag. If you are Greek, then fly it to your heart's content and use it as your avatar. If you are Cypriot, then there is nothing wrong with flying the Cypriot flag, but the Greek flag belongs to a foreign sovereign state, not to Cyprus. Have you no pride in your country?

And my brother came from one mother. I don't know where you come from that you think he could be such an anatomical freak to have come from the womb of two different mothers. Strikes me you are a crazy mixed-up kid!

And for your info, I first came to Cyprus in 1952 and I do live here and I do see more foreign flags in this country than I do Cyprus ones and I do find it an offence to the sovereign state of Cyprus, whether it be red and white or blue and white. Just to remind you what it looks like:

EXCEPTIONAL POST!!!

The problem my friend is that this certain Cyprus flag impossed to us. Is not our flag is just a flag of necessity- no other way but to fly it because some others decide so. Personally i do not find any difference between the certain flag and the one suggested in Annan plan-Both were impossed.

The only thing is that we oblidge to regognise this flag since we do not have any alternative for known reasons.

nevertheless i repeat Zyrich clear article providing that both communities can fly both flags, the national one and this , how to call it?, at their society buildings

The Cyprus flag is the only good thing to come out of the 1960's agreements and nobody had any qualms about it.
