According to the Wikipedia entry on Dylan Klebold, he was born on the 11th, not the 9th! Change? cube - Thu Jun 3 19:58:50 UTC 2004

The entry about the end of the Greek-Turkish war in 1922 was a fanatical POV. What is considered as "saved by the Turks", can equally be described by the non-Turks (Greeks, Armenians, etc.) as "burned to ashes by the Turks". The burning of the city and fleeing of the non-turkic population is indisputable. --Spryom 10:20, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Equally, Mustafa Kemal, described as a "great founder", can be considered by a great many others as a genocide perpetrator. Editing is required. --Spryom 10:20, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1776 - US becomes a country

The Declaration of Independence is considered the point where the US became a country. That document in fact, makes use of the name "United States of America". Offically then, the US became a nation on July 4, 1776 as the United States of America. Congress may have made the name official at some later date, but our nationhood is dated from the Declaration, not the Constitution.
