So what does this have to do with history? I think the answer starts with the question of what we have come to accept as normal.
�It seems normal to us that we have accepted that we have fought two decade-long wars, with enormous cost to an economy that had already been made dysfunctional by tax cuts, and a truly incalculable cost in terms of loss and damage to human lives, some of our best young people, with no positive gain by any pragmatic calculation.
