But a least he found a way to give back to help him deal with it.

We did everything according to the book and yet he spent years feeling guilt when he wasnt to blame.
I wonder if Chimpy Bush and his administration ever felt any guilt. I doubt it. They clearly dropped the ball and bear a lot of responsibility.

And THAT would be very very hard to do. I hope he has sought some help.
