In response to your words to me Vi, just so no one gets the wrong impression, i think (unfortunately) all nations and (unfortunately) many of us as individuals have dirty laundry lurking somewhere .. I think the quest you, others and myself are on is to learn from the past, so those mistakes are not repeated.
As individuals, as citizens of our own particular nation, or as citizens as the world, surely this is essential.

(i do not mean to imply any of you people as individual's have regrettable things in your past, it's just that i am in a catagory of those that do )
