I don’t usually consider moveon.org a particularly reputable source of information, but I came across this video there after some random browsing led me to the site. It’s kind of remarkable how well Dick Cheney describes the reasons invading Iraq is a bad idea, and how correct he was.
times like these you feel very sorry for every mean thing you’ve ever done
times like these you feel sorry every time you were not compassionate at someone else’s pain
times like these you cry just seeing a perfect stranger going about his ordinary business
