How Long Does it Take for History to Become Repeatable?

Hopefully longer than five years ... because if we start a war with Iran it'll be Iraq all over again, only worse.

There's a good article in The Australian (hey, I get quality news where ever I can) that discusses recent conflicting statements made by Bush and his Administration. Y'all should read it (especially those whose main news source is the Green Bay Press Gazette).

Mr Bush reacted sharply yesterday to questions implying that his administration was tampering with intelligence material to justify a military strike against Iran.

"The idea that somehow we're manufacturing the idea that the Iranians are providing IEDs (improvised explosive devices) is preposterous," he said, emphasising that the claims were "not a pretext for war".

Don't you love how the administration is so offended when we accuse them of tampering with evidence? As if we had no reason - no right - to do so?

Far too many of us were complacent the first time around and our country slipped into war.

We can't let it happen again.
