'History repeats itself' wasn't supposed to be advice; plus there's supposed to be more than just 20 years in-between.

I thought libs were making the claim that we all learned from the Iraq war? Heck, Iraq and Iran are nearly the same word but with one letter difference!

Is it working? I haven't spoken with a single person who thinks war with Iran is a good idea. Even the reactionaries in my life

My dad took the bait. So it's working on some people. But I feel like it's not hitting like it used to. I was too little for Iraq so I'm not sure.
