Reply #45: Well, it's simple

I'm not "hung up" on the Iraq war -- I have the honest, reasoned opinion that it was a great blunder, and we will be paying for it in unexpected ways for a long time. I am greatly concerned that Edwards does not seem to see this. It causes me to question his judgement. I worry about the future, too. You trivialize this position in your attempt to psychologize it.

You trust that Edwards will be different. Fine. But on the Hardball show, he had *many* chances to show it and didn't. So I don't trust him to be different.

The soaring rhetoric is fine, but JE has not shown me he has grasped the magnitude of the error. Until or unless he does, I cannot help but see him as part of the problem.
