45. here's what I think
1. The point is to expose the lies that were used to justify an illegal war that has caused the needless loss of our soldiers and iraqi civilians. It may or may not work; I sure hope that it does.

2. If I had lost my child I would d*mn sure try to expose the lies of the criminal that killed my child. The act of confonting the prepetrator of a crime helps bring closure to the victim. This kind of confrontation is not about the criminal its about closure for the victim.

3. The situation that you describe isn't at all a reversal of the circumstances. And if Bill Clinton had been accused of wrongfully causing the death of an adversaries loved one, he was the king of empathy; he would have understood the personal loss. I believe he would have made an effort to understand the other persons point of view and find a way to offer comfort.
