I too was under the impression that Cyprus was a key point in their acceptance.

A-B I seem to recall this country has a rather poor reputation around the same timeframe when we were building our 'Empire'. There is probably very few of the major powers who doesn't have a skeleton in their cupboard. Yes we in England, and probably most of the world, do not know about certain events. It was something that happened at a time of major world upheaval. We are also very introspective and do not go out looking at hat is happening in other countries. Take N&S KOrea for example. Most people would not have a clue what is going on there.

Personally I would rather live for the future the past. I firmly believe the phrase

"We do not inherit the earth from our parents, We borrow it from our children"
