Kudos from feline: One of the many things I love about this chatroom is knowledgable people who can instantly gratify my need to be informed, and immediately exchange ideas - I love it!

Richard Perle, Eliot Cohen, Kenneth Adelman and PNAC

What have they really learned? Reading how these war criminals point fingers at each other makes me sick. They show no signs of remorse. Instead we get, "the idea was right (to export democracy by force), but the people carrying it out were incompetent." and, "The idea is now dead for a generation." In other words, what we did was right, but it failed because others were incompetent.

The Democratic leadership needs to take heed and they need to learn from these admissions. Otherwise they will do it again, and again, and again. Only next time, whose to say they won't succeed in supplanting the Constitution with fascism. Use more force and abuse to implement illegal regime change; exporting "democracy" upon people that do not want it, while importing dictatorship upon the American people.

Even faced with the reality of their own failures, they refuse to accept any responsibility. The only way to stop this neocon agenda is to bring a fair and just judgement upon them. They need their day in court to show them and others that their ideas are morally wrong.

Fixes need to be emplaced or this country will be damned to repeat this completely reprehensible scenario generation, after generation, after generation.

Even though the noecons will not, nor may they ever face reality, groundwork must be laid in order to prepare America to face the stark reality: America was wrong to take this course. Stop saying and perpetuating the idea, "We need to win in Iraq." We lost this war on the very first day we invaded Iraq. Only by removing this obstacle, can the tough job of accountability begin. America must realize that there is really only one way for her to win this war: Admit we were wrong, make reparations and take our place once again as a respected nation in the world.

This will not be easy by any means. There will be many that will resist coming to grips with our errors. There will be those that say, "This will show others that we are weak. This will embolden the terrorists. The terrorists came to us on 9-11, not the other way around."

But I was always taught, "It takes a bigger man to admit when he is wrong and apologize." Likewise, the sooner America realizes that we were wrong and admit that we are no longer that young innocent country without "sin", the sooner we will re-establish our credibility and respect amongst other nations in the international community.
