Atrocities are committed by governments everyday. I'm not trying to down play what either Japan or Australia have done in the past, but I do feel that we (We in the people of this world) do not learn from history very well.
Genocide is currently happening right across this globe yet we stand by as our governments shake their heads and talk about it but actually do very little.
After World War 2 it was said that there will never be another genocide yet we know this to be ridiculously false and sadly, history has taught us nothing in this regard.
Maybe I'm a touch utopian in my views but Gosh it would be nice if we could start learning from our past and put an end to genocide forever!
