I apologize that some of your supporters are so ignorant as to think criticism of your war has to do with affirmative action or, more frequently, lack of patriotism. I should have done a better job educating them.
I apologize that over 500 Americans have died defending a cause that is apparently not what they were told. I should have protested more vigorously.
I apologize that thousands of other people have died and been maimed. I should have cried out a little louder.
I apologize that much of the world hates us. I should have warned you more insistently.
I apologize that a minority of voters, some hanging chads and the Supreme Court got you into this mess. I should have voted twice.
Finally, Mr. President, I apologize that you rammed through laws making it possible to lock up American citizens indefinitely without trial, charges or access to attorneys. I should have fought you harder.
