History keeps repeating, because people are the same throughout time. we are nasty, vile, destructive things. because basic human nature doesnt change throughout the ages, history repeats. It happens because we allow ourselves to forget the past lessons learnt, and so have to learn it again.
Hands up who wants to be the new neville chamberlain???

Making parallels and comparisions isnt an argument. Every conflict is different in both essence and detail. Just because history teaches lessons and tends towards repetition doesnt make the world a ****ing photocopier.
