"All wars are popular for the first thirty days." - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., U.S. historian

I agree with this quote. Whenever there is a war going on in the world, it is often overly televised and popularized. Popularized to a point where people in other countries "choose sides." The status of a war going on is televised in different languages in different countries. This all happens only for the first days or weeks since a beginning of a war. The term "Popular for the first thirty days," means that whenever a war breaks out, people want to know all about it. People watch it on television, listen about it on the radio, and read it on newspapers. But eventually, the topic on these wars become "old news." The topic doesnt become cover stories or newspaper headlines. They end up in the "World News" section of the newspapers. Only when there is a major change of status of the wars, it makes headlines.
