I remember an old French friend of mine, who was a veteran of the wars in Algeria when it broke away, had this to say when we were visiting the WWI remnants in Verdun.
"In another 100 years or so, WWII, along with the Holocaust will be but a few lines of text in a history book."
I also asked him if he felt Verdun as it ocurred in WWI would happen again.
"It will happen again, eventually...it always does."
He wasn't too bitter about it...just that he knew his history all too well.
