to all politicians who favored the 2002 force authorization but now see the error of invading iraq:
thank you for changing your position.
doing so was the right decision, but, for the good of the country, do not seek the presidency.
frankly, you don't think like a chief executive needs to think. if you didn't see thru the bush admin claims 4 years ago, your thinking was stuck deep "inside the box."
much as i respect your new awareness and change of course, what this country needs is a president who thinks freely enough to have recognized all along that the hawks didn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt, so war wasn't justified.
fortunately or unfortunately, we voters have a tendency to like candidates with the common touch—folks like ourselves, somebody we'd want to have a beer with.
so we often elect ordinary joes who let their passions rule their reason and whose thinking is commonplace instead of common sense.
we need to get over it. these are difficult and dangerous times. a lot of very complex issues have emerged.
elitist as it may sound, we need somebody superior in the white house.
