The inability to learn from history

If one wishes to understand the present, he first must know the past. "Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organised, so subtle, so watchf

This quote by former US President Woodrow Wilson establishes the clear fact that nothing has changed. Perpetual wars for perpetual peace. What a tragedy and insult to mankind.
And nothing has changed in the present context of the unjust  war-mongering going on against a small but sovereign country, Syria, totally ignoring and violating international law. And the Western powers supporting the murderous al-Qaeda, which slaughters indiscriminately, regardless of ethnicity. Have we become so dehumanised, devoid of any compassion for our sisters and brothers, regardless of race and religion?
Please wake up!
