Charlatan, thanks for the clarification. I guess I am cynical because I feel we are kind of one-dimensional here sometimes and didn't think anyone would give a shit. I find it interesting that there are no comments from the regular politicos. At least will responded. Maybe I should have mentioned Bush, socialism, guns and Muslims. But I am glad to be proven wrong to an extent.
To me, "Never forget" means to try and learn from the past and not let things like this happen again. Whether it's Armenia, Cambodia, Darfur, American Indians - I would hope we can evolve from these atrocities. As a history and political science enthusiast, I find this topic to be fascinating with many different angles to explore and discuss.
For example, the Cold War influence, atomic bombs guilt, etc ae all interesting facets of this topic. I believe the House of Reps (in US) passed a resolution condemning Japan's war crimes to much controversy. Similar to the one they passed in regards to the Armenian genocide.
Hey, it's a work in progress right?
