People are prone to say, this was so bad we will never let it happen again. However, that is just not true. THe history books are filled with examples of how with the passage of time many of the same kinds of evil crop up again and again, and 'good people' choose not to act and say 'we did not know --it will never happen again."
We can learn a lot by studying the history of atrocities. We can learn more by studying the environments that allowed atrocities to happen, and how they were eventually exposed.
I have no doubt that eventually the story of this 'war' will be told, and Americans everywhere will be embarrassed and outraged to find out what has been done in their name.... and then it will happen. Leaders will step forward and say..."we will remember, and it will never happen again."
Until the next time....
