“…As I would learn upon reflection, war was inevitable given the course of action set from the beginning. President Bush has always been an instinctive leader, more than an intellectual leader.

“Rather, he chooses based on his gut and his most deeply held convictions. Such was the case with Iraq.”
This is one of the saddest books I’ve ever read. None of these people are evil; they just have a lot of power and poor judgement.
