We need be cognisant of history, and proceed with vigilance. "Moreover, as time went on, Britain did not anticipate nor adequately deal with the continuous challenges by Iraqi insurgents of all ethnic and religious hues fighting for independence as well as attacks by tribal sheikhs. During the four decades of British involvement, Britain paid dearly in terms of soldiers' lives and high levels of funding that drained its treasury. It paid an even higher price in terms of its prestige, strategic security and regional stability. Britain's costly experience in Iraq was largely due to its failure to understand the history and character of the Iraqi peoples." allianceforsecurity.org
