Right, I'm just using my own country's history as they're yardsticks I'm familiar with, not because I thought you were pointing the finger at us.

I understand what you're saying, that isn't it better to 'clear the air' then to allow problems to fester. I'm not certain where I stand on that. One thing I am pretty sure of... the ideal of forgiveness cannot simply be a matter of one party repeatedly accepting insults and injury from another party without some manner of redress.

In my mind, effective forgiveness by the victim has a prerequirement of a desire for forgiveness by the offender. What good does it do to forgive somebody who doesn't what you think about they did?
