>>We've learned quite a bit about both Iraq and the United Nations over the past year. The mass killings that the U.N. did nothing about in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Rwanda happened in Iraq too. Again, the U.N. did nothing. Yet people continue to cry, "Wait for the U.N.". Like I wrote to Thomas, my definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
That's sophistry. If you keep focusing on Bosnia and Kosovo and convert consideration of the "Iraq experience" into a story about Bosnia and Kosovo as if a valid previous justification becomes a justification forever, I guess we can expect to see the same thing over and over again.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
