Of course history matters! You would have to be stupid or entirely ignorant not to think so. I mean history is everything; obviously when you hear the word history you think of events of the past, but history is being made everyday even in the present, and history will continue to be made in the future. Without history our whole society, culture, world, and heck, even the whole universe would be affected. You're probably thinking, "The whole universe? Yeah right," but it's true. Whether you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God's Creation Theory it's history, and if that history wasn't made, where would we be? We wouldn't even exist, I can guarantee you that.
And about the history of the present? New technology is coming out almost every month it seems, between Apple's new iPhone 4 or the fact that we can use stem cell treatment to make blind people actually see again, both are definitely breaking news. The United States also recently made history by having under 50,000 troops in Iraq since 2003. The remaining troops are teaching the Iraqi troops military basics so eventually they can fight for and defend their own country, so by staying we are hopefully ensuring that the Iraqi's themselves can fight terrorism. If we just left, there could have been a terrorism attack on the United States because the Iraqi troops wouldn't have known how to prevent it. Bottom line is history DEFINITELY matters. A split decision could change everything. So without history where would we be? Obviously nowhere, it was a rhetorical question, duh.
