There is a saying that those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it, MH.  A little introspection is good for the soul.  'Murricans hate introspection they prefer slogans.  That's why we have a moron in the white house saying "make America great again."

It is not so apparent when it was ever great, which was Rushdie's point. 

I also find it curious that so many people jump to 1945 as our period of "greatness" when in fact we were the only major country to emerge from the war pretty much intact.  Is that "greatness" or merely the last man standing?
