Saudi Arabia is no softie when it comes to ‘crime fighting’ so why I ask would it decide now is the time to take the kinder, gentler approach to punishment? I mean, this is a country that still believes in the good ole death penalty via stoning, ...

First of all, I fail to see how your family is in danger because of Hellas policies. In any case I do not have the right to comment on that. As long as you do not imply that an invasion is imminent, smth that is totally absurd.
You are blaming Hellas for the economy, yet we have agreed to provide money to the whole Balkans. Which country has the highest investments in your country?
Where did your flag's symbol come from? By the way do you know the etymology of the word 'Macedonia'? Last time I checked it emanates from the Hellenic Language. Can you read any writing of that era? I do and I can even partly understand it. Where does your language come from?
I agree that the geographical location of ancient Macedonia is currently divided between 3 countries. If it was just the use of a name, a lot of us would not care, at least I would not. Claiming our historical heritage and producing maps showing Salonika as part of your country though is what I find disturbing.
From your blog I conclude that you are an Orthodox Christian and therefore most probably a Slav. (BTW and for the record I do not like the work Slav b/c I think it comes from the word Slave which I do not like. I have several Serbian friends and one from your country as well. We just do not talk about several things.) Therefore, what I fail to see is how you can claim the Hellenic Heritage.
BTW I would personally see Greece's flag changed since it uses a religious symbol, that is the cross. I would rather see Alexander's sun on it or the Parthenon.
To conclude, I have no doubt that a coin has two sides, at least. You want to use the term 'Macedonia' feel free. But it has to be with smth else and you have to stop 'looking' for expansion towards your East.

Dear Pericle, thanx for the review.
Straight to the point - Yes, I have every right to be angry. My family's life is in danger because of greek pro-racist policy. My country, Republic of Macedonian, is blackmailed by YOU so that we must change the name to be recognized. We changed the flag, accepted the temporal reference, but you keep going. No retreat by you of any kind, while our economy suffer.
Put yourselves in our position. U change the name and flag - will u do it? We are humiliated for long, but not anymore.
Why is Hellass called Greece? Are you REALY sons of the Ancient Hellens? Who gave you right to have exclusive rights to symbols? Wasn't 1913 when YOU for the first time step (occupied) into what is called by you - MAKEDONIA?
YOU talk about borders? WE, Macedonians, for 17 years suffer on your borders marked like the JEWS by the Nazis. Etc...
I will write you more when time allow to present some facts about YOUR fellow Greeks. The coin have two sides.
Greetings and stay well
