I agree that remembering these events is a crucial enterprise in a moment like this.

And, since both wars are based on bombastic lies, it seems consistent, given this act of remembering, to call the aggressor in each to account.

With these memories still fresh in terms of the cognition of the collective internet, perhaps now we can begin to get serious about a future in which the streams of fantasy which are reliably produced by hegemonic states (or mutually-assured-destructive states) are muted indefinitely, and the capacity for capricious warfare stemming from them dismantled.
