Those Who Forget the Past.....

In the last week, much was made of Prince Harry's wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party. Undoubtedly it was a stupid thing to do on his part. Yet this was the action of one immature, spoiled, not too bright kid.

Today Reuters reports that Moscow is planning to erect a new statue of Josef Stalin. Never mind what this says about Putin and today's Russia - that it is willing to once again honor a brutal dictator who killed tens of millions of people. But what does it say about the West that no one is outraged by this?
