LOL.
Being pretty much the historian, my sense of what's a long time ago is much different than most people's...people talk to me like 1800 was forever ago, but to me, it was not much longer than yesterday...The era of Abraham, now that was a long time ago.
But not remembering the lessons of the 1970s and 80s is stupid.
Perhaps this is one good thing to come from this war--a remembering and a "Never Forget" moment.
