"Those who flunk history are doomed to repeat it. All the best empires got
their arse kicked in Iraq. Knocking over the fortifications is easy,
keeping the peace is impossible. Yugoslavia was a model of consensus by
comparison to the tensions in a country where every tribe has, at one time
or another, stomped on all the other ones.
My guess is that the yanks will be gassing Kurds within weeks."
