People don't learn from experience
surely some people do.
and they don't think anything through.

Emotions got us into Iraq, now they're
emotionalizing about Iran.
Who's the they "emotionalizing" about Iran? What does that even mean? And
how do you know that? If you mean to argue that this administration decided
to invade Iraq for emotional reasons, I have to strongly disagree with you.
To the contrary, I'd say hard, cold, unemotional thinking about oil and
power got us into Iraq and is currently being applied to Iran. The people
opposed to the war are the ones emotionalizing -- or, as I perfer,
integrating their emotions into their thinking -- not the goddamn Bush
militarists.
