Hypocrisy of the Democrats: the results of their "Plans"

Another article that won't make it in the MSM's web sites of various outlets of "news". A snippet:

Why are the Democratic Party, the mainstream press, the human rights groups, the UN leadership and the "social justice" crowd currently pushing policy that virtually guarantees an Iraq genocide? Are they not familiar with what transpired after the US abandoned South Vietnam to the communists? Can they not see that their cries for US withdrawal threaten to take Iraq to the same places as the killing fields of Cambodia and Bosnia and Rwanda?

As one with a degree in History, there is an oft paraphrased quote that I'd like to post in it's entirety:

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

You can read the accurate quote of a scanned image of page 284 of George Santayana's book "The Life of Reason"

It's nice to get accurate once in a while.
