>>I want someone with the honesty to say "Based on what I knew at the time, I would make the same decision again." But I wouldn't blame them for changing their mind about what current policy should be based on what we have learned over the years. Someone who says "I made a mistake and shouldn't have done that" is, in my opinion, simply pandering to current popular opinion.

>That was actually one of the things I respected her for. Many made decisions at that time based upon the information available. She was honest about the whole thing and did not apologize for voting for the war. I didn't think she should apologize. She made a very difficult call at the time and she didn't know what we now know. Few if any did. I think any who really did know will eventually be found out. That is my primary conflict with John Edwards. He panders.

Did you hear the line one of the Republican candidates (Huckabee?) had at his expense in a Republican debate? He said Congress has been spending money like John Edwards in a beauty shop <g>.
