Hi marcos; Re: "Bush must make public apology for the manner in which the Iraq invasion was decided."

Bush (or any other US president, Republican or Democrat) will not say they're sorry for the Iraq invasion until long after we've pulled out, and it's obvious to all that it's impossible to continue to pretend that it was a great idea, or necessary, or the fault of the Iraqis, or whatever. How long was it before we publicly admitted that getting involved in Vietnam was a bad idea? I'm not talking about what Jane Fonda said, but what the US President said. When was it, maybe 15 years after we'd pulled out? Or was it more like 20 years?

P.S. War is never having to say you're sorry. Uh, unless you actually get conquered, but do note that even Saddam, though he has been captured, isn't saying he's sorry.
