History Repeats Itself
The actions and decisions of living creatures, generally humans, make up what we tend to call history. Therefore, history does not repeat itself - people repeat history. If there is some cosmic imperative to recreate patterns from the past, it comes from within, and we are responsible for it.

Watch subject. Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t
the country with the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn’t that likely to be the most hated country?
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
