fiddling as Iraq burns - Bob Herbert from NYT

> George W. Bush was a supporter of the war in Vietnam. For a while.
>
> As he explained in his autobiography, "A Charge to Keep: My Journey
> to the White House":
>
> "My inclination was to support the government and the war until
> proven wrong, and that only came later, as I realized we could not
> explain the mission, had no exit strategy, and did not seem to be
> fighting to win."
>
> How is it that he ultimately came to see the fiasco in Vietnam so
> clearly but remains so blind to the frighteningly similar realities
> of his own war in Iraq?
