We're past halfway through (we're past mid-2005 (June), we're past mid-decade) the 2000's and we've seen half of the events that history will judge us on.

How do you think history will view us?

This can be for your nation's history or general world history.

As for me, I'd imagine that as an American, I think the results on the history books would not not (double-negative) show the resistance of the nation once President Bush decided to invade Iraq. The books will probably show America as that it was one of it's most divided points in history. That the power of your party was becoming more and more important and widespread. That the Republican party swept us Americans off our feet during Bush's lucky election mishap in 2000.


In general world history, I can only hope they mention one good thing about America. And at least mention that it was President Bush's policies that were not fully supported by his own nation.

I think they'll look back at it as a decade of nothingness. Of remakes, sequels, fascism, violence, and as the start of the second civil war. This time between scary seculars and scary neoreligion people, with us liberal Christians running to Canada to escape the nuclear fallout.

Depending on how things play out they'll say, "Man, they had it good" or "Man, they were so screwed".

^Heres hoping we get actuall fascism in the next 5 years.

I think the War on Terror will go down in a variety of conflicts thought of as a collective, and a generally muck. That being about as much as you learn about each decade in a 12th grade history book thats about it.

I think that they'll look back at us and wonder how we survived. i mean, look back at the people of the medieval age! what do you think about them!

Hmm...I think in 300 hundred years or so they'll have an exhibit at the museums depicting life in the 00's, and they'll have a white guy in rapper-garb and when you push a button, he'll say "What's up my homie-dawg home-skillet?!"

They'll probably look back with their magic backwards through time looking device.

Most realistically, they will view it with mixed feelings, positive as well as negative aspects. Although I have the feeling negative aspects will be overwhelming.

For everyone says that.

21th century: the one right after the end of good music.
