Nope, I'm saying that Bush and Cheney never learned from history---and the malleable gung-ho young, who don't know where Maine is on a map so they point to France, follow right over the cliff. (At least we knew enough of history from all the war songs and anti-war songs) to realize "going" to an insane war wasn't in our personal interest--so we didn't!

Yes, I mix metaphors on occasion---but it is possible to draw a conclusion on one from the other being seen accurately.
