I was searching for a quote from Winston Churchill to use in a presentation when I came across this gem:
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
If only George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld had read this before they created the mess in Mesopotamia.
