INTELLIGENCE VERSUS WISDOM
There is a big difference between intelligence and wisdom. President Bush and his war cabinet of Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice are all highly intelligent. Unforturnately, they lack wisdom.
Their willingness to either initiate or sign on to the war of choice in Iraq may be the most unwise decision by an administration in our lifetime if not our history. Now, 1,300 days and hundreds of thousands of dead, wounded and displaced Iraqis later, they continue to pretend the mission can be salvaged. They are willing to let an endless number of Iraqis and their American occupiers become casualties in a venture that is not sustainable.
Their complete inability to admit they were wrong and refusal to extricate us from this unfolding catastrophe is not only unwise, it is criminal.
