Why Should We Ever Trust You Again?
The decision to go to war in Iraq, approved of by some American politicians, was one of the stupidest moves in modern American history. It wasn’t just a wrong decision, it was a horribly bad decision. This decision has needlessly hurt the country and the world.
Here are the names of some 2008 presidential candidates. Here are their positions on the Iraq war in 2002-2003:
| Opposed War in Iraq: Dennis Kucinich Barack Obama |
Partially Supported, Partially Opposed War in Iraq: Wesley Clark (see conflicting statements) Al Gore (see 9/02 speech) |
Supported War in Iraq: Evan Bayh Joe Biden Sam Brownback Hillary Clinton Christopher Dodd John Edwards Bill Frist Rudolph Giuliani Duncan Hunter John Kerry John McCain Mitt Romney |
I Don’t Know Their 2002-2003 position: Bill Richardson Tom Vilsack |
(If someone could help me figure out where Richardson and Vilsack stood on Iraq in 2002 and 2003, I’d appreciate it.)
To those who opposed the war in Iraq in the first place, we should grant the benefit of the doubt the next time an important issue comes along.
To those who waffled on the war in Iraq, we should offer our outstretched hand but be ready to run. We should listen very carefully to what these people say and don’t say.
To those who supported the war in Iraq, we should say, “You got the biggest decision of your career dead wrong. Why should we ever, ever trust your judgment again?”
