Mike, the article isn't as important for revealing the mistakes made; it's important because it reveals the lack of quality and depth of thinking that went into making those mistakes. It reveals a glaring tendency to see a complex world in simple terms that fail to reflect reality and will inevitably lead to one screwup after another. It reveals a leadership that will be out-thought, out-maneuvered and out-fought by even a handful of would be revolutionaries. (Can you imagine our president measuring progress in the war on terror by personally hand-checking off names on a list of pre-9/11, suspected Al Queda leaders.) Because of your long-held loyalties to the Republican party, are you willing to condemn Kerry because he stated the simple truth that we need to get to the point for everyday Americans that the fear of terrorism will become a nuisance, while you overlook fatal flaws in a leadership that has screwed things up and cost a thousand American lives in a gratuitous war in Iraq as the terrorist threat grows quietly and spreads? You're too smart to fall under the spell of slogans and smears. Luke, fight the darkside.
