Reply #48: I've now read this entire article and, while the author is pretty cynical, you have to admit...

that the current crop of Post-WWII wars have never really
ended much of any conflict, whereas WW-II actually did
produce an improved world.

The continued existence of Palestinian refugee camps is
a puzlement to me; I would have expected either some
resolution, either peaceful or violent, of that state
of affairs decades ago, butthe article provides a pretty
plausible explanation as to why the status quo just goes
on and on and on...
