Foreign Affairs Specialists : An Open Letter to the American People

[evilqueen]

Few people know more about security than these 500 people. Included among the signers of this letter to the American people, are six of the past seven presidents of the American Political Science Association and security-policy and Middle Eastern studies experts from 150 universities and colleges, and they say Iraq is the most misguided policy since Vietnam. It makes sense to take the advice of those who know better than you, and that's exactly what the Bush administration didn't do when planning the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

1. I think that Iraq is even more misguided than Vietnam

but what do I know?

P.S. I thought this back in 2001 but hardly anybody would listen.

2. Bush never consulted the experts.

This letter could serve as a starting point for Kerry/Edwards to find experts to consult with (outside of the government itself).

I'd be curious who the actual names were.
