It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.

It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology.

War continues to divide people, to change them forever, and I write about it both because I want people to understand the absolute futility of war, the 'pity of war' as Wilfred Owen called it.

Everyone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.
