Just because something happened 100 years ago doesn't mean it is not relevent today. YOU should grow up. Or, at the very least, educate yourself. And stop boring the rest of us with your ignorance.
I kind of agree with you and your response to poster #8, however, if it weren't for the constant harping on the history of the region, and the forever memory of the people, a great deal of the problems would go away.
We were enemies with the Japanese, English, and numerous other countries, but they are now some of our best allies. If the Middle Eastern Countries would stop teaching the hatred of past atrocities, then maybe they could become friends. I'm not saying to tell them to forget, which would be revisionist history, what I'm saying, is the hatred part - the revenge factor should be minimized.
