Dear Rebecca

I'll answer for them. That's the difference between CURRENT EVENTS and
HISTORY.

I wonder how many American students know anything at all about the
background of WWII--such as the war going on in China--if they didn't get it
from Ben Affleck movies? Yes, I could say the same thing for the Japanese
students.

Unfortunately for the current situation, most Americans know nothing
whatsoever about the first Persian Gulf War or all the background to it.

If history teaches you, however, that war is a solution of first resort, you
have a very sad future in front of you.
