We're no longer flawless

Condoleezza Rice visited Britain today, and admitted that the US has made “thousands” of errors in Iraq. She still clings to the idea that it was a good move in theory, because Saddam Hussein was a threat. She didn’t use the lie that somehow the US was threatened, or that Al Qaeda had something to do with it. It’s a first step, I suppose, towards admitting that the war was a horrible idea with horrible consequences. We rocked a stable part of the Middle East, created instability, and killed more than Saddam could have dreamed of killing in three years. I’m not expecting this confession from Rice, but at least they’re talking.
