I, too, have often wondered why these momentos of war still remain, and why it is important to see them. What I saw was ONE cannonball. What you show is tons of bullet holes. <br><br>I was also interested in the fact that many countries want/expect the US to intervene as a way of solving the conflict (we are seeing that now in Syria).
