perhaps this administration could take a cue......
and start to accept responsibility rather than sacrifice the scapegoats.
In your interesting article, "<We're now accustomed to seeing Americans -often hero figures - bringing people to account or admitting to their own flaws." We have yet to see this from the Bush administration.
"An emblematic moment occurs in Clear and Present Danger (1994). CIA deputy director Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) faces an enraged American soldier who has been abandoned by his government. "Whose fault is it?" demands the soldier. "It's my fault," says Ryan. "It's my fault."
That soldier is symbolic of the American people. We can only wish we had Harrison Ford as president.
