And sadly as we see from the world today nothing much has changed. Desire of wealth and resources into the pockets of a few, drives war.

I did not know, either, about the chopped off thumbs and as always am astounded at man's inhumanity to man. One of my other heroes is a young Canadian called Craig Kielberger who, when he was NINE, learned about child labor, founded an international movement to oppose child slavery and still works at this as a young man today.
