Congratulations on a fine sense of irony. What else should
the Ukrainians thank Stalin for? Should they also thank Stalin
for not starving them all to death, but only a few million of them?

Is this called the 'pigeon drop' scheme?

Sajnos mar a 'piramid' is nagyon elterjedt Magyarorszagon.  Arrol is tudok,
hogy kulombozo uzleti es tozsdei befektetesekkel is atvagjak az othoniakat.
 Ami meg szomorubb az, hogy a legtobb ilyen szelhamos az kulfoldi 'magyar',
aki kihasznalja a zavaros helyzetett othon.  Nem csoda ha sok othoni magyar
nem nagyon kedveli a kulfoldi magyarokat.

Meg az a szerencsenk, hogy a legtobb othoni magyar nem olvassa a magyar
listakat.  Akkor aztan tenyleg szoba se alnanak velunk.

The Huns were not the forerunners of the Turks at all.  They had
nothing to do with each other.  This is an absurd notion.

Stirrups were used earlier than that.  

As for trousers, check Trajan's columns and you will find that by the
beginning of the 2nd century AD Roman troops were wearing trousers
which were "borrowed" from the Celts as were the helmets and the
typical legionnaire shield..

Much has been done to demean the idea a confederation of states
in Central Europe. Such an alliance would be against the interests
of both Russia and the West who have always treated Central Europe
as an arena for their rivalry. Especially Russian and Prussian
historians went out of their way to portrait the past Commonwealth
of Poland, Lithania and Rus (today's Ukraine and Belarus) in the worst
possible light. Stupidly, various local nationalists have been doing
the same.

It is stupid, because Central Europe with a sense od identity and some
kind of political and militaty structure would easily be powerfull
enough to put a stop to the continued attempts of both Russia
and and West to treat Central Europe as no more than their sphere
of influence.

Belarus is probably a lost cause. It is well on their way towards being
swallowed up by Russia. On the other hand, Ukrainians have a strong
sense of identity and a similar, if worse, geopolitical situation to
Poland. If prejudice and past differences can be overcome, Poland and
Ukraine should be natural allies.

A strategic alliance between the two countries would be enough to stop
outside interference, while internally neither of the two would
be strong enough to dominate the other.

Ukraine is vitally important to Poland's security. More important
than NATO. As long as there is independent Ukraine, Poland is save
from the East. If, on the other hand, Poland was seriously threatened
by Russia, the West would no doubt betray Poland once again, NATO or not.
Poland had military guaranties from the West before. They turned out
not to be worth the paper they were written on. It is extremely naive
to think that next time Western guaranties would turn out to be more
meaningfull.

Would the West send their soldiers to die for Bialystok? They most
certainly would not! And Poland's enemies know it very well.
Risking all defending Poland is such an absurd idea to the Western mind
that we Poles should just forget it. Once and for all. Let's stop being
naive and face the hard truth and then think calmly and without
illusions what we can really do to protect ourselves.

In a world where self-interest is dominant (as always) the most logical
way for Poland to behave is to look for allies among countries with
similar concerns and interests to our own. It is in Poland's interest
to support independent Ukraine and vice versa. Mutual interest is
the strongest possible basis for a meaningfull alliance. Other, smaller
countries in the region might be tempted to join such an allience,
once they saw that they can gain from it.

The logic seems clear. Now if only logic were the dominant force
in our wretched region.

You might be very well right there, but the argument was about something else.
Also about the Celts; read on.

Well, I wouldn't say that. They were horsemen like them, shaved their heads lik
e 
them, came from the same direction like them, had reflex bows and were excellen
t 
marksmen just like them. Just to mention a few. This time I try not get very 
involved in this delicate family matter. However the main similarity that shoul
d 
not escape our attention and what I tried to refer to was this: They were just 
as much fiercly opposed to (should we say) the "western civilization"  (whateve
r 
it meant that time) - as it did towards them.

>Stirrups were used earlier than that.
By whom ? A book titled the First Horsemen, (pub. 1974) lectored by Professor J
. 
K. Anderson (of Berkley)  the author of several books (one is being Ancient 
Greek Horsemanship and Military Theory ... etc.)  places the appereance of the 
stirrups even closer to our time, "not until the sixth century" . 

>As for trousers, check Trajan's columns and you will find that by the

Well I think Professor Castleden (Head of Humanities at Roedean School in 
England) really wasn't refering to  experiments that of some adventure hungry 
military personel in an other barbaric (?) land. But strangely enough the Celts
 
were indeed the "forerunners" of the Huns in this manner: they were running fro
m 
them as far and as fast it just possible was. Nobody could run any further that
 
time than the isles. Nonetheless it was a valid contact. Would you guesstimate 
then from whom those Celts got the trousers idea?
Anyway, I think what Prof. C. meant to say is this: "In 410 AD. Huns 
introduce(d) trousers which replace(d) togas (and other skirt like garments, *t
o 
the general public of Europe*.)

In this posting not only your bias is apparent but mentioning Hungary '56 and 
Prague '68 in the same sentence also shows that you don't know shit from honey.
There is no comparison at all! I do not know much about the other Horvath but 
despite the sounding of my name I AM Hungarian. I do not care for neither nazis
 
or commies. It is too bad though that (similarly to other spreaders of this kin

Peter,

Osszekevered a Nixon kinai diplomaciajat amit azert csinalt, hogy a meg
akkor nagyon veszejes szovjet befojas ellen eggyensulyozzon.  Ezt amerika
erdekebe, es nem penzert csinalta.

Reagan mar nem volt elnok, es mint privat polgar ment japanba.  Nem
amerikat, hanem sajat magat kepviselte.  Japan, Amerika szovetsegesse. 

Busch megint amerika erdekeit kepviselte, es nem adta el magat a kinaiaknak
penzert.

Az a problema Clinton-nal, hogy o eladta magat a kinaiaknak azert, hogy
legyen penze az elnoki valasztasra.  Van aki ezt meg hazaarulasnak is
nevezne.  Ugy tudom, hogy teknikailag nem lehet a Clinton cselekedetet
hazaarulasnak venni, mert Amerika nincs haboruban.  De azert nagyon piszkos
dolog.

Remeleg ez a magyarazat segitett neked.

cute. you must be reformatus or evagelikus. good luck replacing a symbol of 
monarchy (incl the hand of St Stephen) with a black vulture! Get real. The 
change *must* happen in the awakening of the hungarian spirit sans the Church
influence. We fight both history and established religion in this awakening.
Let's start very simply. How many pre-Christian Hungarian folktale books have 
been published, and made available? You gotta get the idea through to people 
lest you waste your (and my) time in this fantasy...

Szerintem ez az Antall-lal is elmondhato. Szegeny olyan szintelen es merev
volt - amihez a betegsege nyilvan nem segitett - hogy mellette meg a Horn
(aki jo messze esett a tudas fajatol es nem mondhato agyi csodagyereknek)
is normalisnak nezett ki. Aztan ott volt a Jeszenszky, akinek minden

hallgatni.

I'm not so sure about this. I recently returned from an extended business
trip to Uzhgorod, and from conversations with "ordinary" Ukrainian
citizens, am of the impression that the exact opposite is true. Western
Ukrainians (at least those I've spoken with) still seem to harbor deep
cultural resentment toward Poland.

Perhaps from a rational, economic standpoint, Poland is the only way to
civilization for Ukraine. But the history of human conflict hasn't been
fueled by rational decision-making processes, has it?:)

Just a thought...

Dave!

Please, don't fool yourself with quoting the hard-liner Romanian history-
books published by the great N. Chauchesco. So what I suggest is to look
around before you talk.
