History / Katyn- forgiven and forgotten? [111]
Who would apologise? Some decrepit pensioner who probably didnt even take part,or some slimey toad like putin? Would an apology actually solve anything,did the apologies given in countless 1970s westerns for the slaughter of the plains indians bring them back?Did any apoligy by a country ever bring any solace for the families of those lost to brutality? Just be thankfull no Poles served in the far east,you certainly wouldnt be buying jappanese goods if your ancestors had been starved to death or beheaded in long rows and held for the entire war in those hell holes, Tokyos apologies mean nothing to the far east veterns I know,meetings with former foes and reconciliation direct with the people who were there on both sides is the only soloution,as this is not possible in the case of katyn Im afraid,from an outsiders point of veiw you have two simple choises; Ball yourselfs up in hate for long dead murderers and never move on, or remember it as the tragedy it was and move on a little from there,all this hate will only serve one purpose and that is to give you a righteous ulcer because it certainly wont bring back the stolen lives.
