President Obama's repeated insistence that action in Syria will not lead to another Iraq or Afghanistan spurs The Onion to another great story: "Obama Assures Americans This Will Not Be Another 1456 Ottoman Siege Of Belgrade."
And a good thing, too, unless we're on the Hungarian rather than the Ottoman side. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this country who knows who John Hunyadi was.
