Imperial War Museum London, part 3


In the 20th century, 100 million people died because of conflict. Since then, an additional 7.9 million have died. Though it is impossible to eliminate racism, it shameful that until today, genocide is happening in not one, but several parts of the world.

Of course the museum is not meant to glorify war, but it's hard to be completely objective. For example, I feel ambivalent about the Falkland Islands War. Who owns what and why, anyway? Raymond Briggs sums it up: "This issue was not worth the sacrifice of one single life."

Neeks, you have to see this.
