If I were an historian.

I wouldn't mind being an historian. Trying to figure out why things happened. Or didn't happen. And how history could have been changed. By the benefits of hindsight. For instance, could World War II have been prevented? Could the U.S. and other nations have intervened in a way to save the lives of the Jews killled in the Holocaust? And how would the world be different if these interventions had happened? Or what if Germany and Japan had won World War II? What if America's founders had really believed that all men/women were created equal? And if everyone would have been given equal rights from the beginning? What if John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy hadn't been assasinated? How would it have affected the long-term course of American history? Yes, if I were an historian, I'd delve into what ifs... --Jim Broede
