Unscrambling history's final unsolution

I love it!

Linking to Hugh Hewitt's interview with Christopher Hitchens, Glenn Reynolds called Francis ("History-Has-Ended") Fukuyama an "insoluble problem."

Well, history has ended, hasn't it?

Nothing left to solve or dissolve.

All that remains is nostalgia (as Hitchens says, "a secret academic wish to be living in "normal" times once more.")

I don't want to sound self-centered, but I feel left out of Fukuyama's insoluble solution. Might that be because I spent too much of my life living in dissolute times? Is it possible to have nostalgia for "normal times" that never were?

(Never mind. I probably don't want to know.)
