"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The philosopher George Santayana wrote these words in 1905. One hundred years later his words resonate, as the United States finds itself bogged down in another war. (Yes, I know it seemed like a good idea at the time.) As 2006 came to an end, over three thousand American men and women had lost their lives in Iraq, along with all the losses from all the other countries involved. As we begin a new year, we can only hope that this nightmare will end soon.
