Wait a minute. Dulles was Eisenhower's Secretary of State yet Dulles takes the heat for not agreeing to Nasser's economic plans?

Did Eisenhower not have a say in that at all?

It has also been said that if there is one thing we learn from history it’s that we don’t learn from history.

From Rudyard Kipling, nearly a century ago:

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
