I think Rich is absolutely correct regarding the long-smoldering resentment over how the Iraq war began. I doubt the depth and intensity of that feeling has been adequately captured by polls, either. I suspect the November elections will manifest it convincingly. "But if the tale of how the White House ginned up the war is an old story, the big new news is how ferocious a hold this familiar tale still exerts on the public all these years later. We have not moved on. Americans don’t like being lied to by their leaders, especially if there are casualties involved and especially if there’s no accountability. We view it as a crime story, and we won’t be satisfied until there’s a resolution. That’s why the original sin of the war’s conception remains a political flash point, however much we tune out Iraq as it grinds on today."
