Tortured WWII analogistics have long been a staple here, the primary variant being that insufficient enthusiasm for W's war made one akin to Chamberlain, I think.

Y'know.. maybe if Chamberlain had spent a bit more time, like Churchill, in trying to learn from how WWI began, he would have been more inclined to oppose Hitler forcefully, and probably saving tens of millions of lives in the process..

History is there to be learned from. The reason we have situations like the one in Iraq are because people like you DELIBERATELY IGNORE history, or more appropriately, how politically ambitious individuals with delusions of past conquest, can plunge this world into turmoil and challenge the very institutions we cherish in the free world.

Now, like a horse, people can only lead you to the fountain of historical wisdom. But we obviously cannot force you to drink...

And my impression of you is that of a intellectually hydrophobic individual.
