History and the Iraq War
LBJ made up the Gulf of Tonkin incident so he could go into Vietnam and mess with Ho Chi Min.
Bush made up the WMD incident so he could go into Iraq and mess with Saddam Hussein.
LBJ kept sending more troops and money promising the war would soon be won.
Bush keeps sending more troops and money promising the war will soon be won.
In Vietnam, we found out that if the people don't want us there, the war can't be won no matter how many troops or money is sent.
In Iraq, we are finding out that the people don't want us there which means no matter how many troops or money we send, the war cannot be won.
LBJ refused to admit defeat even though the cause was lost, but he kept sacrificing lives in a futile attempt to save face.
Bush refuses to admit defeat even though the cause is lost, so he keeps sacrificing lives in a futile attempt to save face.
Vietnam was a political war born of lies, waged because of lies, and justified by continuing lies.
Iraq is a political war, born of lies, waged because of lies, and justified by continuing lies.
History repeating itself.

foreign invasion and occupation:
Germany invaded Poland and occupied the country
Allies invaded Germany and occupied the country

then allies get extra priviledges, always portray Germans as idiots or villains in movies, cartoons, TV advertisements, and Germans have to pay higher tax rate
White people stealing land from Indians

The Russian Winter.
Hitler's, Napoleon's, and Gustav of Sweden's armies died in the blizzards of the Russian winter. This has happened many more times I just cannot think of them off the top of my head.
