Edwards: “It was a mistake to vote for this war in 2002″
John Edwards has a piece in the Washington Post today in which he expresses (what sounds like) sincere regret at having voted for the war in Iraq. A cynic might suggest that he’s trying to surf the rising tide of public disapproval for the war but even if that’s his game the novelty of a US politician saying “I was wrong” and “I am sorry” stands in such stark contrast to the arrogance, complacency and deceit of the Bush administration that I can’t help but find this article significant.
Irrespective of his motives the fact that ’sorry’ sounds incongruous from a politician tells us how far the administration has strayed from decency.
