Hi michael, welcome back ... 'we must all live with the consequences' - ain't that a fact, eh ... question is always at core, What do we do next? ... so here's my suggestion -
Bush must make public apology for the manner in which the Iraq invasion was decided ... wouldn't hurt to cover the grounds on which it was marketed, as well, but it's essential that he pledge to work toward greater international cooperation in such matters .... then, convincingly sincere apology and credible pledge in hand, it will be up to the Rest of Us to meet him halfway, do what it takes to reform the UN, get a positive dynamic going .... failing apology/pledge, well it'll be same same status quo for a while in Iraq .... nobody wants somebody else's tarbaby, when they've still got pot in hand, and they're swinging the brush
It takes an hombre to admit when he's wrong, maybe Bush doesn't have it in him ... but i see where he was talking the other day about giving up the booze at forty, credited Jesus with that ... so maybe he could share the responsibility for giving up neoconicity with some other internationalist, perhaps Baha'ullah |
