This makes the point that we need to put most old faults, claims, grieviences behind us and get on with establishing justice and opportunity for the people living in the world today and in the future (and protecting the environment.BTW the Celts are also Indo-European speakers. The Basques, the Fino-Ugaric speakers, the Etruscans, the Cretes, and others were not Indo-European speakers.
