"To borrow from both Beyoncé and Yogi Berra, it really is déjà vu all over again. Roughly four years, 2,600 American deaths, $1 trillion and one murderous civil war ago, the same William Kristol predicted that a US invasion of Iraq would inspire 'the principles of liberty and justice in the Islamic world.' Richard Perle, his comrade in armchair warfare, suggested that the impending US invasion would 'transform the thinking of people around the world about the potential for democracy, even in Arab countries."
" Four wars simultaneously? Led by this crew? After what we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is it me, or are the people who run this country dangerously out of their minds?"
