David Brooks On The Invasion Of Iraq 10 Years Ago

One of the problems with predicting the future is that you will most likely be wrong.  David Brooks wrote an article 10 years ago in support of George Bush's intent to invade Iraq.  He put his writing talent on full display.  George Bush is described as our fearless leader.  Those who are against the invasion are described as wishy washy Hamlets who can't come to a decision.  Unfortunately, for David Brooks, the Hamlets were correct and George Bush committed the most foolish foreign policy mistake in American history.  The article that Brooks wrote 10 years ago to this date, has been published to celebrate its anniversary. Tom Friedman was also an advocate for the invasion.  Both of them are now op-ed writers for the NYT.  Its OK to be completely wrong about important policy decisions as long as you are clever and can write well.
