PJ: The "gift horse" adage comes from the fact that, historically, one way of checking a horse's health was to examine its teeth.

Thanks man. I understood what it was basically saying, but I never quite understood the background.

Just admit you made a mistake and that your views are the biased ones.

I was refering to WW2. The only thing that kept democracy and the concept of personal liberty in the world was the Anglo-American alliance. The rest of the world was either Fascist, Communist, or occupied by one of the two. As for normalcy - well compare everyday life in wartime America to everyday life in wartime France or China.. yea, id say it was pretty normal.
