THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU

someone will hand me a rose
and all I will see
are thorns.
Talk about tragedy. — Lisa Schroeder

massacred 15,000 Greek Muslim civilians, looted their possessions, and burned their dwellings. The Greek hero Kolokotronis boasted without qualm that so many were the corpses that his horse's hooves never had to touch the
ground between the town gates of Athens and the citadel. In the Peloponnese, many thousands of Muslims, mainly women and children, were rounded up and butchered.
