Dudziak, a legal historian at the University of Southern California, argues that we are experiencing \u201cnot a time without war, but instead a time in which war does not bother everyday Americans.\u201d Her smooth foray into legal and political history reveals that in not just the past decade but the past century, wartime has become a more or less permanent feature of the American experience, though we fail to recognize it. She doesn\u2019t say so explicitly, but we are experiencing a reverse Orwellian situation, in which the state, rather than elevating war to perpetuate itself, obscures war to perpetuate itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/167805\/enduring-condition-war-time\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026The paradox is that although war is waning in the classic configuration of brigades fighting an enemy on foreign shores, we are not rid of its specter, burdens, threats, costs and restrictions.
