David Bromwich, TomDispatch.com: "We have begun to talk casually about our
wars; and this should be surprising for several reasons. To begin with, in
the history of the United States war has never been considered the normal
state of things. For two centuries, Americans were taught to think war
itself an aberration, and 'wars' in the plural could only have seemed doubly
aberrant. Younger generations of Americans, however, are now being taught to
expect no end of war -- and no end of wars."
