THAT is the kind of reasoning why mankind will make the same mistakes over and over. I\'m not saying every person should know every history tidbit fact, but a certain general knowledge and sense of context is crucial.
Sigh, a similair debate i remember about Neo Nazi\'s. Yes, they do feed on WW2 Nazi idealism, even if alot of them are not completely aware about what it\'s all about In any case : these are past mistakes which somehow pop up again.
denying that it has nothing to do with those past events is the worst you can do.
