Those that do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Harvard graduate and author Nicole Galland believes the war in Iraq mirrors the events of the fourth crusade right down to the minute details: A powerful Western army led by a general trying to avenge his father liberates a rich Muslim country from a tyrant, but finds itself attacked by insurgents. As a guest on your show, Galland will compare the events of the fourth crusade and the Iraq War and share the lessons from history that could fix our current situation.
