Actually we try to learn history so we don't make the same mistakes that we did in the past!. also if we don't learn history we forget everything that makes us into who we are today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Actually, History is used as a means of teaching people whom to hate, rather than learn not to do the same!. The invasion of Iraq is the same like the invasion in Poland in 1939, and in history class, the teacher encouraged people to hate Germans, rather than teach people not to hate based on ethnicity or origin or different culture!. Hate is carried on, and we are invading and attacking other countries!. History is teaching hate and invasion, we are not learning from it, we are repeating history!. Go figure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

History does not repeat itself, sorry for you to think that!. With technology advancing, and enemies advancing too, leaders have to make choices whether or not the people in the community like it!.

It's not our leaders, but the whole people who generally have to "learn", there are racist blacks who still think they would be better off In Africa where mortality rates and AID's are high!. There are still Liberists who want to do the right thing because they Believe they can speculate the feelings of a living things psyche!. There are democrats who try to make it better for the american people, but can't if some of the american people are against it!. It's not history that repeats itself, it's silly little things like how Cortes went to war with the Aztecs to take all of their gold, like how Bush took over Iraq for oil and pretext'd liberating them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
