re: On being mistaken.
Someone wrote in an article that liberals should realize that some things may be true even if George Bush believes them.
Much of the current Democratic policy seems to be to simply place themselves on the opposite side of whereever Bush is. No matter what.
Bolton was sacrificed to this principle. Frankly, it wouldn't have mattered what his qualifications, background, or accomplishments were. It was enough for his enemies that Bush wanted him appointed.
