I heard Donald Rumsfield's testimony before the Senate Arms Services Committee. He just doesn't get it (or doesn't want to get it.) He said, "This happened on my watch, and I accept full responsibility" Well, that is pure nonsense unless there are some repercussions that flow from taking responsibility. Without that, you really haven't taken responsibility. You have just filled the world with more hot air.
There has been a lot of discussion about whether the Bush administration was partially responsible for the terrorist attack on 9/11. Given the intensity of feelings that our violations of human decency have caused among both Muslim moderates and radicals, Bush, Rumsfield, Meyers & Co. certainly have to take responsibility for the next terrorist attack.
