I write with deep-rooted emotions, strongly felt for all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust, and the wars before and after. Where is the humanity and innocence that characterize the human race during birth? Why do we progress towards our own annihilation?
Call me nave, hey maybe I am. Call me softy, it never killed anyone, did it? But as I watch the effects of the holocaust, how those inhuman Nazis killed maimed and mutilated the innocent Jews and other human races, I but continues to see clearly the thin line that separates us humans from animals.

But are we safe yet? Are we able to stand up and say that over half a century since then we are safer now? Can we raise our voices of freedom and say that after all that we are in a better world now? And what happens to world leaders who continue to echo their neo-Nazism sentiments.? What happens to those leaders who proclaim the annihilation of the Jewish community publicly and with no shame? Help me see the difference between these leaders and the hardheaded Adolf Hitler. One can easily pardon Hitler because of the times he lived in where conquests and world dominations were the order of the day, but what would one say of leaders who at these times and level of world freedom and an enormous knowledge of the basic rights for human life and existence, would shamelessly stand up in front of world televisions and proclaim the annihilation of the Jewish race. Why am I the only one seeing the continual existence of Iranian president Mohamed Ahmadinejad as the greatest enemy to world peace in the 21st century. Through my nave mind and simple heart, I see a man capable of financing the rebels killing innocent Americans in Iraq. I see a man capable of working with al Qaeda operatives just to scare the whims out of the American government and ensure the continuance of his work on nukes aimed at nothing else than the supposedly freeing of the Palestinian people from the Israel by the latter's annihilation.
Where are you who share my opinion that the world will never be a peaceful place unless people like Ahmadinejad account for their anti-Jewish sentiments? Where are you people who based on the records and evidence through real lives of people close to you believe that the holocaust happened and who totally oppose the Iranian president's sentiments that it was a "mere myth?"
Life can never be worthwhile unless we protect our future generations from events such as the holocaust from happening ever again. We can guarantee this by ensuring that nukes are produced only by those countries which have shown a capacity to tolerate and uphold democracy. Let us remember that the earth is ours to protect. And not even the planet Mars will ever be a substitute for the beauty that is the earth.
