We're Back at It and It's Not a Bug but a Feature

Blowback is not karma it's a feedback loop in the case of Iraq we help the Baath party get into power oh looks like Saddam is a ego maniacal psycho who wants to invade other countries in the region. create a new problem you create a new opportunity and when you solve that problem by creating another problem you keep the cycle going. The worst part of the memory hole is that many of the people who steered us toward the worst possible decision last time are also still near the levers of power today.
