Déjà vu, all over again.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
-George Santayana
That's our foreign policy in a nutshell, although I would rephrase it some:
Those who refuse to learn from the past can get away with the same shit over and over again.
A less well known Santayana quote is this:
To call war the soil of courage and virtue is like calling debauchery the soil of love.
