...The One-Minute Pundit

Thursday, November 10, 2005


It is depressing to think the generation that fought The Great War is all but gone. Fortunately in this Webified high-definition age we need know nothing about history; if we were a fly and could buzz from PARIS's one ear and out the other we wouldn't find a single factoid from history, assuming we'd find something. But any generation that thinks it can ignore it has another think coming. Woodrow Wilson had hubris enough to think this the last war. A generation later people thought we could stay out of other people's wars. World War I and especially its aftermath teach that ignoring history is the greatest mistake.
