Who is to blame for those kids not being educated?
Is the state of education in the world so poor that kids today are not being taught that 50 million people died during World War II or that 20 million people died at the hands of Stalin? World War II was the pivotal event of the twentieth century and Stalin and Hitler were two of it's most important figures if not the most important.
I'm not just talking about five decades old history either. Millions of people have died in more recent bloodbaths in Korea, China, Zaire, Cambodia, Aghanistan (Russo/Civil War, not US), Iran/Iraq, Rwanda. That's a shortened list of a much larger list.
The world is in conflict and it's been in conflict. George Bush is not the first to drop bombs in the world. He's not even on the radar screen of world leaders in the past century to do so.
