Crow Time
I had written a big long post about Bush and Iraq. I deleted it. Instead let me just say I was wrong about Bush. On Iraq, I was wrong to think that Bush and his team could pull this whole thing off. I’m glad Saddam is gone (and we should try the world over to imprison murderous despots) but we should not have gone in there without truly understanding what it would take to make this work. I hope it can be salvaged, and what happened in Afghanistan today has got to shine some hope on it (at least for a minute).
Most Americans can recognize when their boss is out of their depth or worn out. They’ve all witnessed it at work. I think come November they’ll get in that booth and think it’s time to give the whole thing a fresh start.
