The sober reality: Bush and bumblers recklessly waged war

Paul Hinlicky's rosy view of the Iraq mess ('Iraq differs from Vietnam,' June 5 commentary) will be judged by future events, but two points deserve an immediate response.
First, after granting respect to those who think the war cannot be won and call for withdrawal, Hinlicky says he supports the troops 'in their mission, as one who believes that American power must be used in the world soberly and in fashion governed morally and politically by greater goals of freedom, peace and social justice.'

That is unrealistic because the executors of the war, President Bush and his bumbling band, failed to act soberly or morally, and this blemish affects the whole effort. Bush, not the troops, determines the nature of the war."
