When I was being taught history at school in the early eighties we went up to 1939.

I hope children nowadays are taught history that is nearer in time, and learn about the true horror of war.

Yesterday is tomorrow's history. It will be interesting how historians look back at our present time, and the war on terrorism. Let's hope we win, though sadly most of us won't be round to see how it's written about, or the conclusions to be drawn.
