military as the entire government. I think that's a different country you're talking about. Yes, we all must suffer the shame of what's been done in our names, just as the Germans had to suffer and the Romans before them. But, I did not do this war. I didn't support it and I didn't vote for it. The people who did vote for this war need to step up and ask forgiveness and stop trying to justify their actions. They failed us. The failed the world.

Bill Clinton, himself, has made many mistakes, failing to act in Rwanda being the biggest. He admitted his errors and we were able to move on. I don't understand why it's so hard for his wife to do the same. How hard is it to say, "You know, we were wrong to make war on Iraq. I'm sorry I voted for the use of force. I was wrong to trust the judgement of this president. I believed what he and his administration were telling me. Many things they have said have proven to be false. The problem now is, we have broken Iraq and we must do everything we can to fix it. Forgive me." How hard is that? How hard is that?

I was a big Hillary fan, but I must admit, I'm feeling a little shaky about her now. Why won't she say it? I don't get it. Is it Murdoch's money? I understand "playing the middle," but you know what? I'm the middle, (ok, slightly left of middle), and she's losing me.
