      Things are always calm and normal in the US while we’re at war with another country.

      I think that’s why we’re always at war, and why the effects on oil prices get all the attention. That’s the biggest conceivable effect of the war on most americans in their minds.

      It’s like Europe is the city where all the people have to live with one another, and the US is the mansion out in the boonies with almost no neighbors, and the inhabitants are dicks to the few neighbors they do have.

      Its an American war, the kind where Americans only notice or care by their prices going up.
