Story
Ptolemy: Many years ago, a man by the name of Alexander was born in the ancient city of Byblos(Jbeil) in 1990 at the end of a civil war between Christians and Muslims. When he was one Alexander's parents took him to Macedonia to live with his cousin while they would stay in Lebanon. As Alexander grew up he was very much interested in History, Politics, War, Religion and Empires. His favorite conqueror and emperor was Alexander the Great, a Macedonian. In 1995 Alexander received a letter from his Uncle in Beirut the Iranian agents ordered by the Supreme Ruler of Iran Khameni killed his father(who was a political activist for the Christians) in Beirut at the end of the civil and liberation war. Deeply angered by this, Alexander at the age of 5 decided one day to Conquer Iran and kill the Supreme Leader. He excelled through, elementary, middle and high school. When he finished University and entered the Macedonian senate the entire cabinet of Macedonia was killed in a car bomb caused by the Greeks. Everyone in Macedonia was shocked and were angered towards Greece. The Senate immediately saw Alexander as a leader for their country because he was energetic, intelligent and a wise leader, they chose him without his approval. On January 1st 2010 at the age of 20 he entered office. This largely reminded him of Alexander the Greats ascension into the throne. At once he re organized the cabinet and the military. This was the moment he was waiting for. As an excuse to invade greece he used the killings of the former cabinet and the oppression of Macedonians in Greece. Macedonia's glory was being restored.
So called "Macedonians" are a bulgarian people that was part of the Yugoslavian Federation...when the Federation went to pieces and they achieved independence they decided that "Republic of Macedonia" sounded a lot better than Bulgarian Republic of the Former Yugoslavian Federation which would have been the most accurate.
Bottom line...The "Macedonians" you refer to have nothing to do with the Macedonians of antiquity...the ones that were led by Alexander the Great deep into Asia to kick Persian butt.
Also Alexander would never "invade" Greece mostly because he was Greek....much as all Macedonians were...because come to think of it Macedonians were a Greek people...like the Athenians or Spartans...and I'm not just saying that out of nationalist fervour just cuz I'm Greek but because Alexander himself has said so numerous times throughout his life and so did his dad as well...They were Greeks...and like all Greeks at the time they did have their bar brawls and their fisticuffs with the other Greeks but never anything serious...
At the time all that was going down your so called "Macedonians" were still somewhere in Central Asia trying to emigrate their way to where they are today.
And what is that about the "oppression" of Macedonians in Greece? I am a Macedonian in Greece (thessaloniki or salonika to be more accurate) and I tell you I'm doing great like the rest of us Macedonians are. Now there is a small Bulgarian minority which is the group of people I guess you are referring to as "macedonians" and from what I know they are doing just fine and nobody's bothering them and they are equal to any other Greek citizen!
Still the funniest part was about the Greek car bomb killing off the "Macedonian" cabinet. I mean come on! Maybe if we needed the job done in a real discreet fashion we'd resort to car bombs but it wouldnt be our style! And definitely not against "Macedonia" (btw we call it Skopje here). You usually utilize such methods when you are facing a far superior enemy and that simply isn't the case here. Most probably we'd have just invaded their sorry ass patch of land and the whole thing would be over in a couple of days when we'd reach the southern Serbian border....
