Great quote from Churchill

For all those who say that President Bush is to blame for the Iraq war going as long as it has, and who say that he should have been able to see everything that has happened ahead of time:

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.
