Is it 1914 all over again? We are in danger of repeating the mistakes that started WWI
2014-01-08
Once again a ponce from Cambridge lectures us all on how history rhymes. Boy howdy thanks Professor, we would never have figured that out without you.

The good professor thinks that the new war will be due to a toxic mix of Islamicism and "right wing nationalism". Gotta get those right wing slurs in of course or tea at the club will be a bit difficult.

But at least she recognizes that Iran is up to no good in trying to get a bomb. Now tell me, Professor, you of great learning, how exactly do you propose to stop them?
It's that history thing. Some people just keep learning from it and us befuddled don't pay attention. Poor Gustav III was bumped off and look what happened to Kennedy. If we'd been paying attention we'd have known about it. Tsar Paul II and Vladimir Putin -- shoulda known. The Hundred Years War and Vietnam... It's all there if you're an intellectual.
