Well we'll have to agree to disagree then. Because I think that If some English, Scottish or Welsh relics made their way to Greece duringa 4-century long Nazi British Reich, yeah you should have them back once that foreign government was toppled. I don't see why not. For me, tourist money is not the most important thing in the world.
Christpher Hitchens has argued extensively that the marbles should be returned. He even wrote a book on the matter.
> Not to mention that isn't even an accurate comparison considering the Ottomans controlled that area for longer than the current state of Greece has existed.
If there was an agreement that said Greece could have the marbles back in 172 years (give or take) then that would be an honest argument. But there isn't, nor has anyone argued for it, because it would set a terrible precedent. So it is a dishonest argument.
