If only you spent a little more time to be update on current politics ... you would realize what is going on in US. As long as Bush was around there was one type of scare or the other. Instead of paying attention to economy, he paid attention his self economy.
When was the last time when Bush was in power that we had peaceful times like since Obama has taken over. This is another propaganda ... At what time did Bush have the balls to stand up to a giant like BO and get them to commit $20 Billion!. Wake up and look around .. last time I did I was better of under the new administration ... Green back is now the choice currency and US boasts new and healthy respect in the world as well.
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.
