We should apologize to the backers of the Iraq War, we were wrong

[ck4829]

A few years ago, they told America that because I had different opinions on the wisdom of going to war, that I was a traitor, a Saddam lover, a terrorist supporter, undermining the troops.

I was appealing at the time for the inspectors to have more time to find those Weapons of Mass Destruction. I was a naive dupe of left-wing appeasement.

And how right they were. If I had known then what I know now, if I had seen the festive and appreciative faces on the streets of Baghdad today, if I had known then what a robust economy we would be in -- the unity of our people, the wildfire of democracy that has spread across the Mideast -- I would never have said those traitorous, unfounded and irresponsible things.

I stand chastened in the face of the wisdom of the talk radio geniuses, and I apologize for standing in the way of freedom.

I apologize too, and you should too... via the above speech by Tim Robbins.

1. It is somewhat maddening that the people who promoted the Iraq war

are still seen as foriegn policy experts and the people who opposed it are pie in the sky dopes. It's like living in backwards land.

2. They won't understand this-they, for some reason, don't get sacrcasm or irony

Why that is I have no idea but they just don't get it. :shrug:
