1. Wayne Morris senator extraordinary.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D - Oregon), one of only two dissenters in Congress (both Democrats) to the Vietnam resolution, speaking about it at the time in 1964:
"But one thing I do know, and that is we're going to be BOGGED down in Southeast Asia for years to come if we follow this course of action, and we're gonna kill thousands of Americans boys until FINALLY, let me say, the American people are gonna say what the French people finally said: They've had enough."

Morrises words ring true today. Could be applied to the current quagmire in Iraq.
