There is a saying: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
It seems to me that we could have avoided World War Two, the Holocaust, and all that destruction, if someone would have had the balls to launch a pre-emptive strike on Hitler in ’37 or ’38 while he was still pretty weak. Instead, we had Europeans with their “negotiations” and “diplomacy”, with Neville Chamberlain saying “Peace in our time”.
So why does everyone now despise Bush for doing that very thing? People howl and moan about “pre-emptive” war? Let’s not forget that Saddam used WMD’s on his own people and on the Iranians. And for you college kids, don’t forget that in the 80’s the Israelis bombed a nuclear plant in Iraq because Saddam WAS trying to develop a nuke. (I hope they bomb the Iranian plant next.)
