Because... They made it up!
Everyone has a story! That is what makes each of us unique... We are the sum total of all the "good, bad, and ugly" that has happened to us.
Do countries have a story? Yes they do... A country's history is what tells us how a nation came to be... Was everything that we went through to make our county a nation happy and good? No... yet we are tearing down our history so that we can say we never did anything terrible...
What a tragedy!
Recently an iconic judge of the United States Supreme Court passed away. It was noted that this judge was good friends with another Supreme Court judge who held opposing views from hers. Note that it did not render their friendship null and void. You can be friends with someone and agree to disagree rather than take the stance of my way or the highway...
Ever meet someone that had a lot of the qualities you want to find in a person but... Just not quite? According to the founder of eharmony you need to create your list of must haves and can't stands and you have to stick to the list... Even if they are so close... No dice!
