Throughout history there are multitudes of instances where mans inhumanity to man appears unbelievable.
Cambodia and Pol Pot.....intellectuals died in their millions. The West knew about it but did what; stood and watched!
Even slavery to our eyes today is horrible, yet the Britain and the USA economies prospered at the expense of poor slaves transported from Africa in terrible conditions.......the mores of the day thought it perfectly acceptable.
I am of the view that as these atrocities continue unabated throughout history man will never change. Even today we have modern slavery where gullible individuals are transported from Eastern Europe to work and live in conditions most of us think unfit for animals. What are our politicians doing about it.....playing lip service.
Interesting that almost all of leading politicians have never studied history.....no wonder countries never learn!
