Horse 611 - END IT NOW - THE LOT OF YOU

Isn't it funny how a day like September 11 lives on in the memory but August 15 which is invariably far more important even in just the 20th Century somehow gets forgotten. One very important thing happened on August 15 and it be explained by the acronym: VP

August 15 1945 was the official end to World War 2. On this day the terms of surrender were finally laid out and the end of hostilities happened. You might think that 5000 odd in attacks of three buildings were important but that accounts for about 0.02% of the 250,000,000 who died as a result of the bloodiest set of conflicts the world has ever seen.

250,000,000 people who were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters; I don't care which side of the war you happen to support, all of them died however heroically in essentially pointless terms. The will of people who put ideals ahead of the lives of millions have something to answer for.

This is my reminder to people today:

Israel
Lebanon
Iraq
USA
Australia
UK
Iran
Afghanistan
Nigeria
Pakistan
Sudan
Chad
Sri Lanka
Colombia
Thailand
Côte d'Ivoire
Turkey
Indonesia
Nepal
India
Laos
Uganda
Phillipines

and any other country that thinks it's a good idea to be at war and kill people -

You are all criminally stupid!
Killing people for any reason is wrong!

The governments of all and sundry I have listed have my current scorn.

August 15 is a grand day, because people finally got sick of killing each other...

AND STOPPED
