Bush may lose, but his war will go on and on

The war hangs like Coleridge's albatross around the President's neck, weighting him down, hunching him over. 'We did the right thing,' he repeats at every campaign stop but he keeps having this sinking feeling. ... Now the parents of dead G.I.s are beginning to attend his rallies to ask what it was their kids died for? John Kerry concurs wholeheartedly that 'we did the right thing' in Iraq -- both he and his running mate voted to allow Bush to invade that evil empire. ... John Kerry has no intention of tamping down the bloodshed in Iraq. What he wants instead is a better, cleaner, wider (a real multilateral coalition) war, a 'victory' to be followed by 'peace with honor.' Oops, sorry! Another Vietnam flashback...
