Now it's Italy's...

Six months ago... Australian government said sorry.... and yesterday Italy said that too...
In a precedent, Italian government said sorry to Libya [ a former colony]. But not only that Italy has vowed to pay $5bn to Libya. Furthermore a headless statue of Venus was returned as well...
It's arguable whether saying sorry after years of aggression and destruction is ever enough... but certainly it is a good gesture and is very welcomed...
Of course Italy can afford saying sorry because it only invaded one country which is Libya...
Whereas countries like Britain, France and USA has [still] occupied many countries... so saying sorry won't be that easy.
The worst part of it is nowadays we see occupation as a favor done to the occupied... aggression is named justice... and war is named freedom...

Anyways... though I'm not a Libyan... I thank Italy for this... and again hope that one day... history will find a way to give people all their natural human rights back...
