Well worth the visit (take a day, rather than a few hours) It adequately describes the depth of sacrifice and the horror of loss for all involved I think.eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358483532981233704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-72062325660643672722010-05-04T21:28:01.922-04:002010-05-04T21:28:01.922-04:00Yes...and virtually nothing accomplished in any of...Yes...and virtually nothing accomplished in any of the cases.

I understand that many were confident that humanity was entering a new era in which war would fade away. Such confidence in human goodness proved to be hopelessly misplaced. The two greatest wars of world history were about to be fought, and both wars were utterly senseless. But the false religions of nationalism and racism easily overwhelmed reason and goodness. We sinful humans are not always as rational and virtuous as we like to imagine ourselves to be! <br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />EvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-65098211248002560222010-05-02T15:01:58.299-04:002010-05-02T15:01:58.299-04:00Very well said.

As a "war baby" born not long after V-J day, the history and lessons of the 20th century are of great interest to me.
