I Think People Are More In Contact Now With The Consequences Of War Than They've Been For A Very Long Time. And That's What Amazes Me When Sometimes Politicians Seem To Forget Their History. They Don't Look And Re-learn About What Has Happened Before. Maybe They Haven't Got The Memory, Maybe They're Already Too Young, But You Can See How We Become Puffed Up, And How We As A Nation Rise So Quickly If We're Not Careful.
