Santayana (SP?) said "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." Very wise words. How many remember that while Hitler was slaughtering the Jews of Europe he was also murdering the Gypsies? We see people dragged to death behind trucks because of their skin color, people bombed because of their reliogious affiliation and whole cities gassed because of their ethnic background. I think our guest has valid concerns. Have we truly learned the lessons of the second world war? Until we do and don't forget them, Armenia and all other countries will live with the spectre of genocide. May we cure it with music and brotherly love. Kindest reguards, Neil
