When bad things happen to countries the process of change can be likened to the repair of a bridge. The bridge is still in place, it can be used, but bit by bit it is replaced until the entire structure is new. The change is sufficiently gradual to appear unexceptional. War, defeat, revolution, inflation and depression set that off for Germany.
What I have trouble understanding is what were the pre9/11 conditions that set some smally analogous process off in the USA? I have assumed Vietnam, for want of a better explanation. (But then I'm a bleeding heart liberal.)
