War is absurd. But peace that follows none less so. Wars are led by human beings and not some other living creatures. Men of peace and war are of the same blood type - just that some characteristics and principles are bared more or less depending on the case. It is naive to believe that with the ending of a war the motivations which led people into it would disappear. The story of Lidice is a human story. Lidice was an event and the horrific crime perpetrated upon Lidice was the result of a given situation. But the principles which led to it are ingrained in human motives and are valid today, whether it be in peace or war.
