your right, and it does boil down to the 'we' thing. taking your above example I agree, but I dont think we are talking about individual as such here, its about one culture impacting on another. I dont want to atone for the specifics of what MY grandfather did, but as a 'we' we should atone for what 'we' did.

at any rate I dont think there is a right or wrong side to this arguement (if there was then I would say there would be no need to argue it), I only wanted to throw in another perspective, it was starting to turn into a 'we' versus Neil moment.
