<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eyestrain, post: 1001592, member: 24213&quot;]800 years is a long time to hold a grudge. I know people these days are big on hearing governments apologize for past crimes -- but if the crimes date back to the middle ages I&#039;m not so sure that holding the current administration&#039;s feet to the flames is going to be that productive. Any apology they come up with is bound to sound hollow.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Hey, remember that one time, on the Mongolian steppes, when my ancestors from antiquity sacked your ancestor&#039;s nomadic tribe and burned down their tent? Um, yeah, sorry &#039;bout that. Our bad.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I think there needs to be a statute of limitations on apologies. There&#039;s no end of nastiness perpetrated by the ancients, and we could all waste the rest of out lives excusing their bad behaviour. Even the &quot;heroes&quot; still celebrated today have an ocean of blood on their hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are nice coins, and I would have happily added them to my collection too. Enjoy them, guilt free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
