Dear Sir/Madam, with all due respect, I have never heard such bollocks before about Hungarians lionizing Attila the Hun as a great king of theirs: it is clear to all Hungarians from basic school that Attila the Hun is falsely seen as Hungarian by foreigners, as the "magyar" and "hun" tribes split up well before the Hungarian state was established and the nomadic tribes of the Huns continued to the Persian regions, while the Hungarians settled in the Carpathian basin.
Pls consult with true history books and don't spread ignorence about Hungarians' view on their history. Next you'll be assuming that count Dracula and Frankensteins monster were Hungarian as well... (as, in case you are aware of some historical facts, Transsylvania used to be fully Hungarian as well during the past 1000 years before it got annexed to Romania after the first World War.)
Best regards, Peter the Hungarian (not Hun)
