- Uzbekistan = Iraq in 1983
- Saudi Arabia = Iran in 1975
- Iraq = Afghanistan in 1989
- Sudan = Rwanda in 1994
Today is the past of the future. We can avoid the past's mistakes for the future, but for the moment, we seem to be repeating them. The only "interest of the United States" is in promoting freedom and democracy, not supporting the corrupt regimes of temporary allies to pursue current enemies. We know where that road goes. The ally of today is the enemy of tomorrow, if it is not just.
Oh, and one more, in case the rhetoric gets too heavy:
Nobody = Germany in 1923/1933
