I visited a large memorial to the soldiers of World War 1 in France. It was a memorial of war and peace. At the time of construction, it was thought that the first world was the end of all great wars. But they certainly thought wrong...

I saw the dates of birth and death of some of these soldiers, and I was rather struken. Because only the last two numbers of their year of birth were shown, it's not certain which generation they are from, and it resembled the birthdates of my generation. And I realized how much I didn't want to see my generation displayed like this.

But unfortunetly, the war in Iraq continues, and people my age are begining to go overseas.

War is hell. There's no question to it. And the people who decided to take my country into war, will not even be affected by it. It's the poor, and the middle class that are fighting this war.

Perhaps history is too easily forgotten...
