Wow! The UN will really set things straight!
Conflict with the unexpected: two qualities are indispensable; first, an intellect which, even in the midst of this obscurity, is not without some traces of inner light which lead to the truth; second, the courage to follow this faint light. KvC

Peru, Chile and Bolivia went at it years ago over a patch of land that was covered in bird an bat guano IIRC.

Nobody really cared until the British started gathering the stuff for gunpowder I think, then a fight started.

The Bolivians lost access to the Pacific and to this day they don't feel things are really settled.

True what Truman said about the only thing new in the world ?


History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.
