"Yet in this year's presidential campaign, both sides consistently managed to deny the obvious: In Iraq, the U.N. inspectors got it all right, while the top American military, political and intelligence leaders got it all wrong.

As American inspectors finally admitted this past month, there simply were no weapons of mass destruction left in Iraq, and no serious effort was being made by Hussein's government to manufacture them, no matter what George W. Bush or John F. Kerry wrongly believed before the invasion.

Yet nobody in either party who supported the war has the integrity to apologize to the United Nations and its inspectors, who were chased out of the country before a war campaign that Johns Hopkins University researchers estimate has killed 100,000 Iraqis to date."

The world needs a strong UN, not a posse of vigilantes out to impose American domination on the world.

2. Being Republican Means NEVER Having to Say You're Sorry

Because after all, everyone knows you are sorry: sorry imitations; the Ugly Americans.
