Envy? Hmm. There used to be a joke doing the rounds when Reagan did his “we bomb Russia in 5 minutes” gaffe – that having been late for the last two world wars America wanted to start the next so as to be on time.

Thats not a terribly funny joke. Let’s not forget the appeasement of Hitler that led to the necessity of war to stop him.
Maybe we should let old wars die. They have little bearing on todays events, if only to cause dissonance and alienation between people and nations who should be working to put differences behind them and come together as a race.
