44. The question doesnt have much to do with Iraq as much
as it has to do with being willing to admit a mistake when presented with evidence to the contrary of one's position.

Asking about this as a generality might be a more productive way to satisfy that curiousity. When you ask about something as sensitive as war, something where innocent people died, the target of your curiousity would most likely have a tendency to get combative and resentful of the "I told you so" because of the implied guilt in being associated with what comes close to actual war crimes (and may very well BE war crimes).
