Recalling the madness of war in the midst of arming

These days we are being bombarded with news and stories about the First World War. Tomorrow it is Gallipoli. Over 131,000 people lost their lives at Gallipoli.

In early May it will be the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Millions were slaughtered in that war.

On May 9 the Russians will celebrate and on May 8 the Western allies will recall the end of WW ll. Documents of surreneder were signed in Riems on May 8 and in Karlshorst on May 9, Russian time.

There is an irony that right around the world at present daggers are drawn and yet we can recall the maddness of wars that killed millions of people.
