<<Do you think we will get a mea culpa soon?>> ...Looking for an apology seems a bit much. Maybe at some point you could look for an admission that the war was a mistake. But we are not at that point yet and hopefully things don't get that bad. ...I am content to know that Fred (and the American public at large) are starting to appreciate the risks and consequences of reckless interventionism. <<The real sins, imho, were the lies, arrogant destruction of pretty much all that stands for international law and order, etc.>> ...So many sins to choose from! But please change "destruction" to "disregard". International law isn't dead and, in fact, may end up being stronger because of Bush's folly. I bet that GWB will think twice before snubbing the security council again. <<... which is hopefully why UN will eventually put a hand under the stone.>> ...Actually I suspect that that is why France, Germany, and Russia are willing to be so diplomatic at this point. They see an opportunity to get involved in Iraq post-mess. And, with a little bit of luck, they could end up getting the credit for turning Iraq around. ...And before anybody starts bashing them let me point out that Bush called the game. All they did was to hang around and wait for the end game to develop.
