I see soldiers outside of a house. I see one of them attempting to open a door. I see two of them looking in the same direction.
I think that these soldiers are raiding this house. I think that this is Iraq.I think that this picture looks like a picture from Vietnam. I think that these soldiers are just like soldiers 30 years ago.
I wonder if we are just replaying our wars in different locations. I wonder if Ameirca will in 30 years start another war half way around the world. I wonder what happens after they open the door.
What I really think is that America is repeating itself in so many ways. In 1941 we thought we were completely safe because of our borders, our oceans. No one would attack us, but we were sorely wrong. Then almost exactly 70 years later, we were attacked by a new form of enemy. But once again we thought that we were impervious to attack because we had won the cold war and there was no one left to stand against us.
Also when we fought in Vietnam, we thought that we would go in and they would just sit down. But it turned out the they didn't want to give up their land. Then in Iraq we once again though we would be in and out before Christmas, but 6 years later we are still there. We need to learn from our historical mistakes so we don't make them again.
