Dear TERRA,
I understand you: have you ever seen a hollywood film about Romans?
They all act like nazi-puppies with ridicule expressions and fancy armor.
Americans love to banalize foreign culture: that makes them feel superior.
Alas, I don't know eastern culture very well, but IMG tsankth pirates are
always described by their Teshnan or Kralorelan enemies. I suppose RW
chinese or siamese soldiers rarely described your ancestors better than
"eastern devils".
Do not refer to WWII. I prefer not to and I think my people played the
stupidest part in the whole episode.
Looking forward to read you again (and keep on reading Montanelli; BTW in
which language do you read his books?).
Gianfranco
