Words of Wisdom

I can't say I'm usually in agreement with NYT Op-Ed Columnist, Roger Cohen, nor do I read his columns very often. But today, he chose to write his column on Poland and I must say I found parts of his essay very moving:
Poland should shame every nation that believes peace and reconciliation are impossible, every state that believes the sacrifice of new generations is needed to avenge the grievances of history. The thing about competitive victimhood, a favorite Middle Eastern pastime, is that it condemns the children of today to join the long list of the dead.
Definitely, something to think about. For those who are interested in reading the column in its entirety, click here.
