Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1, a disastrous war that brought about the death of millions. With the benefit of hindsight was it worth the sacrifice?
I will certainly be remembering at 11am tomorrow with sorrow for all those wasted lives on both sides of the conflict.
100 years on.

Re: 100 years on.
And has mankind learned anything from all those wasted lives, during the last 100 years?
New ways to kill and maim each other, continual conflicts - there's always a war going on somewhere in the world - and a huge increase in the production and sales of arms. Racism, ethnic cleansing, so-called civilised countries adopting increasingly far right politics?
Would it be different if women occupied all the positions of power in the world? Would violence, because war is just organised and sanctioned violence, still be endemic in society if women ruled the world?
