Well, we certainly have a topic today that will seperate the thinkers from the uneducated masses around here.
All four of the statements are obvioulsy fallacies, but they are not the same kind of fallacies.
The kids these days, reading, riting, and rithmatic, but no rhetoric. There's four R's damnit!
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

I think the person who posted the bolded statement actually didn't know what they were talking about. They just plain got the facts wrong.
