      All countries have bad spots in their histories. Let’s not condemn someone for the past. Instead, lets look for ways that to all do better moving forward.

      Condemning countries actively comitting war crimes is a separate matter and easily falls under “what can we do to stop that?”.

      Millions of people have been killed because of grievances from history books. It would be better to learn from history instead of using it as a source of grievance.
