How many more times has the international community failed to come to assistance. (For the record, while we fought the Nazi's we did not really extend as much of a helping hand as we could have to jewish people there.)

My personal Failure List:
1) Uganda
2) Cambodia
3) Sudan
4) Rwanda

In most cases, we allowed most of the killings to occur with little more than a "tsk tsk" word of discouragement until after the fact.

I mean i'll agree the conflict is complicated.

But you hear from Hola\ocaust survivors how important empathy is. Why did not more germans, poles, etc, show human decency and compassion they ask and the quesion is justified. My question is why those who pretend to respect these survivrs cant show the same empathy wen tables are turned? Or can they?

Some groups that claim to fight hate (a noble endeavor)
- use terms like "Palestinian sympathizer" whenever ANY action by Israel is even questioned. For example one jewish group in canada claimed all our MPs except our conservatives were palestinian sympathizers becos they had reservations about the degree of bombing done in lebanon.
- humanitarian groups like amnesty international are almost equated with the nazi party when they are reputable in other conflicts. Heck Carter wrote a book that was not "easy" on any of the stake holders in israel conflict but because he had some critism of israel, several jewish members quit the carter

wars, deceases, hatred, evil, revenge, condemnation, greed, misery and pain has been destiny for many centuries.
So, today also people suffer, die, are hurt and live in misery without any reason. it is just because they are in wrong place and wrong time.
I suffer also because I am in wrong place and wrong time. But, as many people before me, I am just another victim of inevitable history. so, why care at all about my destiny and the destiny of many others victims of history?
Hurt, abandoned, undeveloped. Finally, who cares about me and you when also nobody cares about millions who has died invain in history?
Somebody that lives in Africa suffers more than me. Why they are not helped?

Due to my hobby as a civil war reenactor and my job as a park ranger I get thousands of questions I cannot answer. Today I worked at Williamsburg, Va and braving the cold I was bombard with questions that once again that I could not answer

People from all over the world including the Middle East, Asia and Europe and other areas come to see our Civil War, and its soldiers. I am told that we are one of the few countries that try to protect the sites where our soldiers have fought for our beliefs, honor and the country. That when they go home they are going to try to have their respective country do the same.

Like the 25 + Germans today at Williamsburg, they ask why do we do this while at the same time being ashamed of it? (They are speaking of the political correct police). The Williamsburg guide was upset as many times before they wanted to see the Battle of Williamsburg (there is nothing) then they want to know why, then when they see the same thing at Yorktown they then go to Pamplin Historical Park and ask why there are no Confederate Flags. Since there French, British flags flying nothing you tell them works.

Lat month we had 75 Middle East students who rubbed in my face (I was working Saylors Creek that week) that they knew the Commanders of Saladin Armies Ayyubi and Shirkuh were the only two I wrote down out of the 6 or 7 they mentioned from 912 years ago. They went on to explain that the USA might learn to understand the values of the Middle East and other parts of the world if we learned to appreciate our heritage and quit being ashamed. When I get close to retirement or win the lottery I am going to explain how my number 12 boots fit up their @3*.

However all this started me thinking so I ran it by my peers, my superiors and finally some of the biggest religious and philosophical minds in the country and regardless of their race or religion they agreed we should not be ashamed of the Civil War and we should learn more about it. What do you think?
