We told you so -- but we don't feel good about it
Molly Ivins says it better than I ever could:
We are not sitting here gloating because it is the horrible mess we said it would be. We're in agony. There is nothing pleasurable about being a Cassandra. I have said from the beginning that if this thing worked out the way Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney all said it would, I would be perfectly happy to get down on my knees and kiss George Bush's feet.
Now, how do we get out? Can we even have a conversation or deliberation that might save American lives and dignity if the handful of rich people who call all the shots, have all the power, and live in a fantasy world accuse the 61 percent of the country that opposes this war of hating itself and its own children?
What a mess. The radical right has poisoned our political culture to such a degree that we can't even join up to fix the single biggest catastrophe in 40 years.
