although violence for the sake of violence is abhorent and should be condemed on all levels i personally do not believe that we as either individuals or nations should ignore what has been learned in the past.however the credit for the information gained should go to those who suffered not those who caused the suffering.
if we cannot learn from the mistakes of our forbears,including all of the knowledge that they amassed,then the passing of time has been for nothing,and the memory of our ancestors is wasted.
mankind has the power to either destroy or enhance and should be expected to use all available knowledge to the enhancement of all.if we cannot use our knowledge for the ultimate good we are not fit to be in existance.

knowledge is the ultimate power

power is the ultimate evil
