This is bizarrely and sadly interesting (if correct), are we going back to the early 20th century - has history and its past mistakes been completely forgotten. 
1)Majority of Macedonians in Macedonia want to be in the EU
2)Majority of Macedonians want to enter the EU only within the scope of it’s own chosen name (yet we are negotiating what? That coke is the same as pepsi?)
So how does this benefit Macedonia and its people and future stability (minus for the moment the serious human rights violations and breaches). Oh I forgot - it doesn't
Here is some passages from the thread British foreign office and Macedonian identity to answer how I feel about the US response (if correct) to the issue at hand .http://www.macedoniantruth.org/forum...read.php?t=113
Colonel Corfe had written in 1923“To my question "What do you want? an autonomous Macedonia or a Macedonia under Bulgaria?" the answer was generally the same: "We want good administration. We are Macedonians, not Greeks or Bulgars…We want to be left in peace."
He (R.A.C. Sperling, the new minister at Sofia) believed that, united and independent, the Macedonians "might play the part which God seems to have assigned to them in the Balkans, but which man has thwarted-that, namely, of acting as a link between their Serb and Bulgar brothers, instead of being a permanent cause of division."
Early in 1922 W.A.F. Erskine, the minister in Sofia, drew Lord Curzon's attention to an anonymous article in the newspaper Makedonija, "Their country is today free. Ours, too, will be free if we remain faithful to our own traditions of struggle and if we take as our example the lives of people, who, like the Irish, have "never despaired of the force of right."
