Assert your "rights" and you make enemies. In the end, everyone loses.


Whilst I agree that neighbours should always try and compromise - and

Martin Luther King didn't 'fight'
Gandhi didn't 'fight'
The Dalai Lama isn't 'fighting'

The IRA 'fought'
The Tamil Tigers and ETA are 'fighting'

Bit of a bugger, boundary disputes, eh ?
