"That is the Debate of 2003"

I was talking to my dad about the war and other political things. For the most part we were on the same path, but at one point he said something like "Well we know that now, but its in the past, what are we going to do with it now?"
and though I agree with him somewhat... I think its absurd for conservatives to make this "argument,"
a guy on the news just did this to a liberal commentator (thats where the headline comes from).

Smart people spent 2002 and beyond arguing how stupid the war was... but people called them traitors... now everyone realizes they were right and its "well, lets just forget about our mistake and move on." Fuck that. If the people who made the mistake haven't or even apologized yet, then it is still an issue, because only by settling the past are we able to move forward with good conscience and a clear view.

How is it that these people expect us to take them seriously if they can't admit they fucked everything up? We are supposed to continue following them, yet they lead us down the worst path possible... Fuck them. The discussion is necessary to say who was right and who we should follow now... since the others fucked up their chance.
