NY Times letter to the editor on Richard Perle

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/12/opinion/l12iraq.html

Richard Perle (“Democracy Defeated,” Op-Ed, Dec. 10) writes, “Things that start badly seldom end well.”

Though referring to the Iraq Study Group, his statement applies to the Iraq war itself, begun with the administration’s twisted facts, implausible assertions and devious media campaigns, and even to the Bush presidency, begun under indelible clouds of doubt that will forever hang over and taint the authenticity of the 2000 election.

Alas, Mr. Perle may be right: gauged by current developments, both the Iraq war and the Bush presidency stand good chances of ending poorly.
