Lessons not learned
The pile of "mea culpas" from war advocates demonstrates how little has changed in their thinking.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-03-20]

  • Why should they learn anything?

    These war advocates, I would wager to a one, have learned nothing for one simple reason: They have no actual investment in the conflict they cheer for.

    They and their families have not or will not serve in the armed forces.

    They and their families are not at economic or emotional risk of losing loved ones overseas.

    They and their families have insulated themselves through distance and willing ignorance against the devastation they've cheered for.

    Bring back the Draft (sans any exemptions) and these idiots would 'learn' their lessons in record time.
