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.
