Of course, one could make an agruement of crimes against humanity that the North did to the South by burning down so many cities.
Anyway, I guess the 'reparations insanity' has spread beyond our borders.
I'm all for a country admitting to a wrong against another country or peoples, even after centuries. That's better than nothing and at least sets the record straight and helps the correct teaching of history in their own country (so they don't repeat it). But reparations centuries later?
