Rutland Herald: Rutland Vermont News & Information: "The difficult burden now weighing down the Bush administration is that the Iraq war was chosen; it was not thrust upon us. In choosing to go to war, Bush chose to accept responsibility for the acts of brutality that inevitably followed. President Bush has seldom spoken of the disasters of Iraq as his responsibility, and he has sought to pin the blame anywhere but on himself. But the spiral of death that appears to be widening in Iraq did not happen by chance. It grew out of the illusions and miscalculations of the American administration."
