The point is to learn from your mistakes in JUDGEMENT so that one has a clear and accurate appraisal of the situation so that one does not make the same kind of mistake again. The highlighted mistakes were due to American IGNORANCE about the real motives of the people in the nations involved. The United States tends to view things only from the hubris of our own perspective. If one stops and thinks about the other guys motives for acting as they do then you can hopefully avoid costly mistakes. In war the party that has superior knowledge of the enemy is at an advantage. Just ask ole Robert E Lee about that one.
