Blindsight.
It's interesting to me that liberals place all of the blame for the current situation in Iraq on Bush and his administration. I think the important subtext of this piece is that, until recently, the majority of Americans bought into the lie. They deserve just as much blame for wishing our government do "whatever it takes" to make them feel safe again, no matter what the cost. (I believe history will show the cost in terms of human rights violations to be staggering.) There were those among us not so easily duped; watching in horror as reason was replaced with a blind faith in good versus evil. It seems that a majority of Americans now think that the war in Iraq was a mistake. Where were you two years ago?
