Hi Pete, Were the US not at its wits end over their plummeting popularity around Iraq, do you really think there would be any kind of regrets to come from either Bush or Blair?
Your diminished sarcasm is far too kind. His "admissions" were focused on rewrites of words he should never have said, and needless to say, the "apologies" were merely political regrets. Nothing even close to admission of error over his publicly declared reason for going to war, for example. This was turned into a problem with the rest of his countrymen/women for turning against the war after no WMD were found. He's still selling war, and sticking to his crap about liberating Iraq, without a single thought for the lives lost in a defenceless country. Actually, it's been so much more than a likely 100,000 Iraqis killed; it's their whole country in shambles, an environmental disaster, on top of an entire world now either living with a sense of fear that is either real or (mostly) unreal, and for this Bush offers no personal responsibility. If he were actually exhibiting signs of hope, he would start with truth, not deception. With his offensive/defensive posturing he has changed the world into a scarier place, and accelerated domestic disaster that will also affect the world's people. He cannot begin to atone without looking at truth first. That takes real responsibility, what real leaders are made of, and he is currently quite incapable. He belongs in life-long treatment for being a psychopath (without the merits of intelligence or rationality), a war criminal, and should never be put in a position of power again. Unfortunately, I believe politics should be something other than a stage for developing wealth and power.
