One of the problems with understanding history is the tendency to judge it with modern values.

In the Bible Abraham went to and was prepared to sacrifice his son then faith to day child-abuse. All countries have taken what they wanted often just because they can. The U.S. with the Native American, the British in Tasmania. The roman and just about every one they new. And many, many more.

All of these were considered the right and often the moral way to go in there time. We have to learn the cause and affect of mankind's actions in the past and learn from them so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Those who live in a glasshouses should not throw stones. Do we blame the modern Germans for holocaust or the modern Jews for the death of Christ?

We have to draw a line under the past and move forward in a civilised and humane way remembering the mistakes of the past but not adding to them.

I know this is the most difficult way to go but I think this is the only way.

Sorry for rambling

All the best

Ferret
