Why We're Facing another 30 Years War

Politicians can only reference four historical moments—Civil War, Revolution, WWII, and post-1960s events. This crippling historical myopia prevents us from seeing our true position in history's cycles (100-year, 300-year, and 2000-year patterns). Our society bears SHOCKING similarities to the 1630s—politically, religiously, and economically. Even modern warfare resembles the Thirty Years' War, not WWII. The Middle East is experiencing its own "Islamic Thirty Years' War" right now. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite: More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.
