The whole point is that ALL must forgive and forget.  As long as we explain
away autrocities with such filmsy excuses, we cannot resolve any problems.
Paulo Freire, the Brazilian educator, points out that we must break the 
oppressor/oppressed cycle.  We would not use the same argument to
justify Isreali mistreatment of Germans.

Hopefully, in the 20th century, we can ask that we learn from history and
not repeat it.  As Ghandi pointed out, if we all practiced "an eye for an
eye", we would live in world of blind people.
