The Bush administration has scared a lot of Americans by saying it is going to follow its plan in Iraq despite the evidence that it isn't working. I think there'd be a lot more confidence in President Bush if he seemed to have the capacity to admit mistakes and move to correct them.
And Bush's supporters aren't helping him when they rush to attack the sanity, integrity and motives of anyone who criticizes his policies.
These critics include lifelong public servants such as former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke and former ambassador Joseph Wilson, longtime republican elitists such as William F. Buckley and George Will, and now even American military generals, including those who actually led ground troops in Iraq as recently as 2004.
