They've done it before
I'm currently reading, and highly recommend, "Arsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race" by Richard Rhodes. This is a history of the nuclear arms buildup following world war II, and more specifically, during the cold war.
Reading this book, you discover the same evil bastards responsible for the current regime's disastrous foreign policy used exactly the same arguments and techniques to construct the nuclear arms race in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. It's the same guys, and they're doing the same thing!
Proving once again that the lesson we learn from history is that we don't learn lessons from history.
