Richard Haass: “It has been over forty years since the historian Barbara Tuchman wrote The March of Folly. The book examines wars that ought not to have been fought as they went against the self-interest of the empire or country that undertook them even when preferable alternatives were available.

“The subtitle of Tuchman’s book is From Troy to Vietnam. An updated edition might well read, From Troy to Iran or, better yet, From Troy to Iraq to Iran.”
