Europes little Squables

Every day I sit and read the news from a a Greek website (I have Greek friends and want to keep up todate with what is happening there). Well today something really vexed me.

For those of you that don't know there are issues between Greece and FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). The problem is the name "Macedonia", FYROM want to call themselve this but they boader on to an area of Greece that is also called Macedonia. So you can see Greece's problem with it. If they let FYROM call themselve this will they want the area in Greece to?

Will today I read that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice commented "The hope is that the name issue can be resolved very quickly now" and then said that the dispute between the two countries "should not get in the way of the admission of Macedonia to NATO"

Does she not know that Macedonia is already a part of NATO as it is an state in Greece!
