To blithely wave away the current horror on the ground

On the subject of the war in Iraq and the desire of George W. Bush and his Republican party to cling to some semblence of success, even if it takes decades to materialize, Digby saidbest:

To blithely wave away the current horror on the ground and say that the death and destruction in Iraq will someday be seen as “worth it” and rest easy believing that future generations will thank us for our generous decision to invade their country and unleash hell is morally repugnant. I would say it is far more likely that they will never forgive us.

I sincerely hope that the American people wake up in time to see what the Bush presidency has done to them, so that we do not elect another Bush clone (or worse) to replace him.
