LOL. Most countries erect memorials commemorating successes in war or battle. A lot of countries erect memorials for the memory of those that have died in battle. In the UK there are lots of memorials commerating the civilian dead though they're not so prevalent.
The most famous victim memorial is probably the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and there's a reason for it being there. Personally I don't think it should be there as it rubs the noses of German peoples in their country's less than pleasant history, and that can't be right. I do however believe there should be such a memorial somewhere.
Reap what you sow seems about right to me.
