Forgotten as they were not our wars. Was our land threatened?

Like Opium Wars, they pushed Colonialist agenda to play god. 

In 19th century, England tried to stop industry from reaching here. She failed.

Then, England on decline, India in revolt, challenged by USA here, and by Germany/Russia in Europe, the fastest growing economies. Anglo-French greed and machinations, not allowing them their rightful place in the world, led to war. In 31 years 1914-45, 120M + 6M dead.

Futile. Devasted Germany and Russia recovered - one to become a world power, other leads Europe today. France and England lost their shirts and India, Africa, Asia; both now have-beens.

After WWII we would not let Soviets nuclear tech. We failed. Today Iran, and we will fail again. Justice means you get your fair share and give others theirs. Greed ends up you holding an empty bag.

November, poppy season, remembering those who died for nothing. Hopefully it will remind us never to be cannon fodder for others' guns.
