The More Things Change…

The more things change, the more they stay the same. We have a nation of people gearing up for war at a frantic pace, which has violated the borders of a neighboring country, and which is eager to kill as many Jews as possible. And many of our own citizens react this way:

Number three is, we want to use all the tools that the US —power. We want to use our diplomacy. We believe the United States should be talking to everyone in the region, including countries we don’t like, like Syria and Iran. We feel like it is a lot better to talk to someone before you have to bomb them. — Wesley Clark

Ever heard of this guy? Wesley Clark’s approach didn’t work out too well for him or for his country.

We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators. — Neville Chamberlain

Here’s one more quote:

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. — George Santayana
