No need to repeat last year's thread, where I mentioned my ideas about politicians' responsibility, the topic of the OP.

@Black belt caterpillar wrestler: Remembering as much of history as we can is an extremely important aspect of understanding the world. In other words, we primarily need it for our own good, for our present and future societies. Those who only want to "remember" the parts that seem to support their egos, by borrowing splendour from the past of "their people", miss the point and will be easy victims of manipulation.

Right now we have wars that are commented by politicians and journalists in a dangerous manner, similar to the early 1900s. Many of them claim to work for peace, most actually gamble for their own interests. And yes, some do gamble with the lives of their sons and with their own lives.
