Click here and keep scrolling down for a bunch of newspaper clippings from the New York Times describing the American "quagmire" and inability to find WMD... in post-WW II Germany.
As David Weber and Steve White's fictional admiral Ivan Antonov put it ("In Death Ground", p. 450): "You know... there is a mistaken proverb which tells us that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it. In fact, they're lucky if they're allowed to repeat it. More probably, they're condemned to something even worse than the past. This is doubly true of those who believe that their ignorance somehow makes them morally superior to those who don't share it."
