History does repeat itself.

Consider this from Daniel Whitaker, writing in the Sunday Observer.
The US is embroiled in an ill-considered occupation of a distant land; an initial welcome turned to violence amid human rights violations; it will be many years before extrication is possible. Not Iraq today, but the Philippines a century ago, an eerie parallel which might have provided valuable lessons.
It "might have provided valuable lessons" to someone who got better than a C+ in history.
