re: lessons from the past
It was an abuse that happened 11 years ago.
This time your country wanted this war and started it.
Most of the world told you war is much too serious, dangerous, unpredictable and chaotic for it to be worth it.
I wouldn't be surprised past abuses were also in the mind of those who protested against the war.
But the US went along anyway.
And how about the abuses in Vietnam?
