Ignoring History

The Blog | Sherman Yellen: Don't Look Back? Who are they Kidding? | The Huffington Post: "It started early this week as I expected it would. The chorus from the right, those Heritage Foundation types cautioning us on C-SPAN and elsewhere not to look back on the causes of the Iraq disaster, blame nobody, swallow hard, and look ahead to new solutions, whatever they may be. But don't look back to the origins of this war.
It was as if we were Lot's wife, warned by God's angels not to look back on Sodom, else this whole country turn into a pillar of salt. As soon as the Iraq Study Group report came in with its knuckle rapping of the President and his advisers for their conduct of the war, with not a word about the President's past criminal acts; putting the nation at risk by starting this war with lies, arrogance, slogans, and fantastic hubris, one would have thought the right would have been placated. . ."
