| Milforum Moderator  | History has a way of repeating itself Compare the Philippines campaign of the Spanish-American War to the current Iraq conflict and you will find a bunch of similarities.

| No Chance Outside | The more things change, the more they stay they same. You bet it's a cycle. Everything works in a cycle... this is why in so many cultures the circle is such an important shape. A circle, or a thing in revolution. It's silly to think that the idea of the round earth was invented relatively recently in the West. Most established civilizations realized this fact before Jesus stepped on the earth.

| Milites Gregarius | Every situation is new, even if there are similarities. Therefor every new situation will follow an inevitable path of arguments... "Don't do this - remember what happened to X!" "Yes, but you cannot compare X to Y, because this differs" "No it doesn't!" "Yes it does!"

| Tribunus Laticlavius  | Humanity has proven incapable of remaining at peace, yet in the midst of war, it is peace that they crave. In very general terms, history does repeat itself. In specific terms, no it does not.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | There is the Lincoln/Kennedy connection, The 20 years Factor which means The US President Bush has to Almost die or die in office (maybe the pretzel incident counts) and the russian 100 years ( my grand daddy always said that by 2015 the commies will be back)
