Repeating History

I wonder what we'll say, somewhere down the line, after Israel is no more. No doubt, we will be angry and remorseful. At the same time, we'll be happy to have dodged the bullet once more. We'll be looking for someone to blame - Obama? Ahmedinejad? Ourselves? None of this will work, of course.

And the winner is ISRAEL!!! Someone will have hit upon the brilliant idea of blaming the victim. And we'll be quite comfortable with that. It's been done before. In fact, it's like killing two birds with the same stone - totally expedient - for someone without a conscience.

It's simply baffling to me how we can allow the worst parts of (recent) history to repeat themselves. While we point fingers and call each other 'Nazis' right here at home, we happily all but ignore the true reincarnation of Hitler in the Middle East.

We know exactly what worked and didn't work when we were dealing with the original Hitler; yet, we are hell-bend on making the very same mistakes again. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Maybe there is a little bit of Hitler in each one of us.
