I read through it, including the parts removed from the national anthem, and could find nothing offensive in it. But then again, I'm rarely ever offended by historical facts, especially when viewed in light of current realities.
There is something seriously askew in a world where a nation's national anthem is banned from being performed in that nation's capitol.
Who's really running this place?
