I think you fail to realize that all of those countries are more socialist than the USA. For example that Obama and Hilary are both far more right wing than the Conservative Prime Ministers of Canada, Britain and every other advanced country. If you want to more right wing, you are looking at Saudi Arabia or Somalia.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
