It would be very interesting to know what billsykes means ....... ??? He is telling us that a significant number of norwegians has behaved quite shamefully for a couple of generations..... ???? - and that Denmark has behaved with heroism over the same period......???

Of course there are some aspects of the norwegian WWII history that we, as norwegians, are not so proud of, but this is the case of most of the countries that was occupied by the germans during the war. I think this is the case for Denmark and the danes as well.

He also leaves us with the impression that Yasser Arafat was the sole recipient of the Nobel Peace Price for 1994 - - that is not correct. He shared the price with two high-profiled israeli politicians - namely Shimon Perez and Yitzhak Rabin.

It is the easiest thing in the world to throw out characterisations of both individuals and populations, but I guess it would be a lot harder to underline them with facts........ Generelising, as you do, is not good argumentation.....
