And retain the beauty and culture which lies in great danger of these islands were the ideal place from which more glory to being lost? Rome and the Spanish throne could be obtained. Naturally, the Pope in Rome was pleased with the enterprise so he gave the islands to the Spaniards. If you want to know why the Pope did that and on whose authority, I refer you to the New Testament. There, it is clearly explained that the Pope personally received these islands from God himself," I explained to my friend. ~~---.­ "Good, that explains the history of the area. Now, what is the current situation there?", he asked. -- "Actually, the current state of affairs on the islands began during the last big war. You see, there was lots of fighting going on in the area and lots of casualties on both sides. The natives too had casualties and their properties were also destroyed. After the war, the United States, by virtue of its great victory, told the world that she owned the area because many Americans perished there. But the U.S. made it also clear that while they intend to have rights to the property, they have no intention of owning the natives as well. That, the U.S. proclaimed, was against the principles of human rights", I said. "So now, the people or the natives are trying to revolt against the U.S.?", my friend asked. "Yes and no. You see, the natives cannot conduct any type of war against the U.S .. They can't even fight the U.S. verbally. What is happening there is a sort of a family quarrel. You know, one son getting mom to throw pop out of the house and a daughter trying to have pop make mom agreeable to a midnight check-in time for her", I said.
