Raed Jarrar has a plan and it starts with a confession:
The current pattern of failures and policy changing will not lead to any real solutions, the American administration must admit that the last year was a total mess, that nothing positive will come out if the currant policy is going to continue, and that standing in a brave way and confessing this failure can give everyone a good restarting point. This apology must admit the exaggeration in the whole issue of the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and other reasons that justified the war, the Bush administration must apologize to the American and Iraqi people and compensate the thousands who were killed and injured in this unjustified war. The admission of guilt must also remember people from other countries that sent their children to be a part of the fake coalition, they must be sent back home and the U.S. government must be responsible, accountable and fix the mess it caused.
I know it is hard to confess that the last year was a disaster, and the war wasn’t justified, but this will be easier for the next administration if Bush wasn’t elected again.
Today, Bremer “admitted mistakes” but he didn’t go nearly far enough and Bush and the Neocon Gang need to make a public apology for how, as David Kay said, they got nearly everything wrong about WMD in Iraq. No weaseling and equivocating. Can they, would they do it?
Probably not.
