Does this sound familiar? Terrorists Fighting an Occupation

No likes soldiers in their country - even if the occupied belong nominally to the same country. That came back to me while reading A Long Surrender: The Guerrilla War After the Civil War. I ought to mention something about Gore Vidal writing about America's historical amnesia but I am thinking amnesia does not truly describe our current leadership. Between Bush and the neo-cons, it seems not so much as amnesia but more of a willing delusion that there is no such thing as history. Maybe I have become obsessed with the problem of Iraq but read this review and see if you do not think of Iraq, too.
