You may forgive President Bush if he's wondering whether he was in a press conference Tuesday night or a confessional. One after another, reporters asked him whether he had made any mistakes on his watch.

Still, the president and strategists like Karl Rove shouldn't dismiss the questioning as an irritant. Like all of us, presidents improve only when they acknowledge they could have done something better.

We aren't saying Mr. Bush has made a similar mistake in the war against terrorism. We support many of his moves.
But no White House should get to the point where it can't admit mistakes. Perhaps presidents don't confess them publicly during a campaign. But, heavens, at least acknowledge them behind closed doors – for the good of the country. Lyndon Johnson became so obsessed with his Vietnam course that he couldn't entertain another vision. The nation can't afford that kind of stubbornness again.
