Not to sound pithy or anything much like that, but it’s only the idiots and
morons that don’t learn from history--violence begets violence.

Not pithy; how about “trite”? What lessons did you learn from WWII, Dave?
(Dirty little secret Dave: war is sometimes GOOD).

The Sons of Saddam seem to have forgotten that trite statement. Or perhaps, “He
who lives be the sword, dies by the sword.” So, yes, it’s trite, but it also
kinda backfires against David since it can also be used to explain why it
happened.
I don’t know if I’d call any war “good”. Necessary, perhaps. The best choice
in a sea of bad options. War brutalizes even the victors, even when they had
the best of intentions.

“Nice mess you’ve created.”

What would you have called the situation previously with the brutal SH in
power? It was a mess to begin with.
|
Yes, but it was somebody else’s mess!
