1. And look at the large populace of society
who has (have?) forgotten.

5. That is the saddest thing.
It was only 60 some odd years ago...what happens in 100? 200? 500? We all know how history gets rewritten, we see it happening now. It is very scary.

3. That's also what we said after "The Vietnam War"
Americans, and The World Community have very short attention spans. :(

8. Yes, don't remind uz of the war
They call it "the war" around here, probably means viet nam, though i don't think
the UK was in that one, maybe it means korea.

4. The problem is that extremism is like measles or mumps.
You only catch each sort once.

The German Nazis could never have come to power if the holocaust had happened beforehand. Communism is slowly dying, and won't come back.

Other ideologies just as destructive will doubtless arise, and may well come to power in America or anywhere else, but the ones that have already been witnessed won't, I think.

7. I hope you are right.
But the past is a perfect way to detect when a similar "strain" is lurking about ready to infect!
