Let history be a reminder that war and peace are part of the ebb and flow of life. Europe has achieved a state of relative peace in a short amount of time which should also remind us how quickly things can also unravel. In the framework of history things can change so quickly.

Wow was that wrong. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, on and on. Europe still remembers the horror of World War II, but memories fade tensions grow, Look at the proliferation of nationalistic and conspiratorial politics in the USA embodied in the Teaparty, Birther , and neo-Confederate movements. The governor of Texas talking secession over health care of all things. Maybe Europe will be smarter , maybe we won't go further than rhetoric , maybe not.
