Nathan:  No, blessedly, we missed that memorial.

There is no shortage of stories regarding what Oliver says. And no 
shortage from the other side of the fence, either.  One of the 
challenges of international travel is to reconcile all that wonderful 
art, architecture, music, literature and culture with the reminders of 
what happens when the veneer of civilization is stripped away. War does 
that.  I struggle with it every time I travel. Both specifically, 
because of what was done to my tribe, and in general, because I'm a 
human being.
