Yeah, that talking worked so well in the past.
Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I thought that was called history? It just repeats time and again with the same results.
History records it so we can learn. Politicians look at it and decide;
1) It wasn't them so they didn't try hard enough, were too soft, or didn't spend enough money
2) They know what they are doing so it will be fine this time with them in charge
Its just for show.. its a "look we've tried every option to work it out peacefully" "its not our fault we have to invade... again..."
At least it is more convincing this time.

That's an interesting view. I guess the idea is to make it look like we've done everything by the book. Not sure it's part of my thought pattern, but I get where you're coming from.
