learning from our mistakes

I am not an advocate of war of any kind, but I would just like to remember the millions of people that died to protect freedom in the many wars that have past, and also the atrocity of the jewish holocaust. The numbers of deaths and suffering seem meaningless to us, they are just numbers, but these were real human beings who bled and died.

So we should remember them, and learn from our mistakes. The problem is, despite centuries of war, killing and suffering, we still haven't learned from those tragedies past to stop. You think especially after 2 world wars, we would get the point. It's almost like allowing those who died before us die in vain. I believe in a God of peace, and my prayer is that one day we would seek peace, love and joy over death and suffering.
