Doomed to repeat history?

I can't believe I'm the first to review this book because I found it so important in understanding the current American invasion and occupation of Iraq and the attitudes here at home about that series of events. I also found the most coherent exposition of the concept of Manifest Destiny that I've read... ever. Whether he's taking a close look at Fr. Berrigan's words or at films released after the Vietnam war, the author is spot on about what ails the U.S.A. He offers no easy solutions, but defining the problem well and accurately is generally a huge step towards solving it. William Cobb defined the problem.
