Bush Blames Self

I didn't get to hear the President's speech this past weekend, but from what the news is trumpeting in every form of media known to man, he's taking blame for taking us into war under false, misleading, or incorrect information. Maybe it's just me (what are the odds?) but it would seem regardless of our reasons, an act of war was preferrable than any of the alternatives back then.

All conspiracy theories aside, where would we be now if we hadn't gone to war? Where would we be now if we hadn't accomplished all the things we've accomplished by going to war? Would our country be better off if we had no troops in Iraq? Would our country be safer? Would we be mouring another 9-11? No one really knows. But one thing everyone knows but will rarely admit, is any of the possibilities would be significantly worse than the scenarios we're faced with today.

So blame yourself, Pres. Bush. Pound your chest, holler "Mea Culpa" and nail yourself to as many crosses as you want. The fact is, right now we're fighting a war that's got an ocean or two between us and them. Let's keep it that way.
