Great quotes. Where did you get them?

There is reflexive irritation, whenever Hawks get told the historical parallels to other failed Hawk ventures. They don't want to acknowledge those parallels, it damages their self-image. Like pointing out how Bush2 has reduced his Message to a few sound-bites, endlessly repeated, and how closely this parallels Nazi propoganda techniques.

There is reflexive irritation, whenever Doves get told the historical parallels to failed Dove ventures. We don't want to acknowledge those parallels, it damages our self-image. Like when Hawks point out how much of the current European anti-anti-terrorist/Iraq talk (=pro-terrorist???; =pro-Saddam???) sounds like the 1930s appeasement of Hitler.

It's so much easier to see other people's faults.
