I was too young. I realize i'm probably splitting hairs. The differences b/w both situations feel large enough that lazily conflating the two feels incorrect, even though they are certainly similar enough to compare.

Trump is somehow a more stupid, meaner W. There's no 9/11 he can use to whip up nationalistic frenzy. Israel has aggressed first & is trying to drag the world into a conflict that's already hugely unpopular. Maybe I'm hoping Middle East War # gazillion evaporates as US interest does. I'm hoping this conflict is dissimilar enough from Iraq to turn out differently, and for us to have learned something in the interceding 20+ years
