Commemoration Day

Remarkable celebrations in London as one million poppies are dropped on the mall to recall the end of WWII. Also, amazing if somewhat controversial rememberances in Moscow.

As we try to respond to this weeks pointless act of fanatacism, it is worth pausing to remember how dark the world must have seemed during WWII and how in that time victory was not won any one country, but by an alliance of the ideologically incompatible countries.
