Acacemic life prepares presidential foreign affairs advisors for their jobs. In order not to repeat history, you have to understand more than just a bit of it. If you are making policy you should have some clue about policies of the past, rogue states of the past, who was who in the past, all things that actually will avoid you making some huge miscalculation about the future, and help wisely guide foreign policy decisions. Like, for example, do the Bush policy advisors know that all the early leaders of Israel were terrorists? I know that European policy makers do--that is why the Europeans take a much broader and more balanced view of the mess in the Middle East. Here is a bit of history about the real Ariel Sharon. Now does everyone in the Bush administration know this? Academics do--it is part of the actual history of how Begin, Sharon and company as young terrorists bombed the King David Hotel and did other nasty things to scare the British out Palestine, and then massacred hundreds of Palestinians in the refugee camps once they had taken over. You would not know this unless you studied Palestinian history. counterpunch.org
