I understand that most Americans today are victims of the public education system, which refuses to teach kids to think of current situations in terms of historical perspective, but that's a poor excuse. You should always try to educate yourself, and that doesn't mean CNN, Fox News, or Air America.
Most people, but liberals in particular, try to pretend that this war is different, that's it's a unique situation that the U.S. is practically going it alone. As though every other war was everybody versus one bad guy.
To put it in perspective, when the U.S. entered WWII only England, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and Russia were on our side. That's it. The entire rest of Europe and large parts of Asia were already under the control of the Axis. Who were our allies in Vietnam and Korea, or the Revolutionary War?
Can people put this in the proper persepctive for once and leave current politics out of it?
