Subject: [Goanet] Re: Response to Danish editor's letter
Hi Cornel,
Thanks for your kind review of our book - On Thin Ice - which recently
appeared on Goanet.
We appreciate your kind words on our endeavor.
Thanks too for reading my post on the above story and taking the trouble
to make some thoughtful comments.
You are correct that Greenland in a Danish protectorate.
Greenland (mostly covered with ice, unlike Iceland), is not considered a
third world country in the classical sense.
And generally neither Denmark nor Greenland factor in the North - South
dialogue.
It would appear that you otherwise agreed with the major points I made to
the Danish Editor. I have heard many who complimented the Canadian and
American people / communities and newspapers for using good judgement in
this whole saga.
I would certainly like to hear your thoughts from across the pond.
Kind Regards, GL

2) Denmark is a colonial power. It has Greenland which is really huge
geographically, but with relatively few people, as a colony.

I still cannot understand how a nice small peaceful Scandinavian country
like Denmark, which never had any third world colony, could be the
center
of an international North-South controversy.
