John Edwards Admits Mistake
Former Senator John Edwards now regrets voting to approve war in Iraq.
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, if he could, would change his vote. In an op-ed piece in today's Washington Post, Edwards admits that he was wrong to vote for the war in Iraq.
"It was a mistake to vote for this war in 2002. I take responsibility for that mistake. It has been hard to say these words because those who didn't make a mistake -- the men and women of our armed forces and their families -- have performed heroically and paid a dear price."
This change of heart and mind won't improve the situation, but I applaud him (or any political figure, for that matter) for admitting his mistake. In case you've forgotten, Edwards was the Democratic Party nominee for Vice President in last year's election.
