True; thats the way the Human History went, goes and will go on and on...
Thousands of years ago was like that; then technology gave the chance to kill in masses, and nowdays we are at the same stage than the cavern men, a bit more organized, thats all.
It only takes a crazy or greedy b***ard in power and there it goes, like not too long ago with a guy not even worth to mention that ruled your country during the 30's/40's; or as it happens now with USA and their greed for oil and natural resources (not the people, i mean the facist G. Bush goverment).
The same happened with English piracy during 1800's; so as I said...its a very complicated conflict and can not be solved just thinking about what the relatives of the people who took a land by force feel.
At the end, it seems we are still not far from animals...
Bottom line: regarding this subject there are no bad and good; there are just sad politicians old/dead by now; and a genuine territorial dispute that's still as "young" as it was two centurys ago.
