Someone brought up the Jewish / WWII incident. That's been almost 70 years and people have moved on.

Look at Japan and the Pearl Harbor bombing ... people moved on.

In 2007, look at the relationship the US has with Germany and Japan. Even Russia and the cold war from the 1980's.

It's in the human nature to learn from past mistakes and let go.

Slavery? It was wrong, it was a LONG time ago ... let's move on.
