To the Editor:

At the start of this tragic and costly misadventure of a war, Thomas L. Friedman mentioned that his wife thought that the war was a mistake. He should have listened to her. At least the revelation came!

The Bush administration is the most cynical administration ever to occupy the White House (and I used to be a Republican). The way it got there should have been enough of a hint.

The true tragedy is that its disastrous policies have strengthened and rallied the terrorist groups we were supposed to be pursuing.

To the Editor:

At last, Thomas L. Friedman wakes up to the fact that the character of the people who carry out a foreign policy is more important than the policy itself.

Mr. Friedman had ample evidence of this administration's lack of character and political motivations when he was, tragically, giving its Iraq policy his imprimatur before the invasion. His mea culpa now rings hollow and is too late.
