I'm not always a big Pat Buchanan fan, but this was a nicely written summary imo. It is maddening how quickly we are apt to make the same mistakes. I certainly hope we don't end up at war with Iran.

hootsbox, what do you think of the article? We've had discussions in the past about the Iraq war and I think you've admitted to it being ill advised. As a republican, are you hearing your party beat the drum for armed conflict with Iran?
