It certainly seems appropriate to have revisited the war in Iraq on Veterans Day, especially so in view of President Biden's wise--and apparently mostly ignored--counsel to Israeli President Netanyahu after 10/7 to learn from the mistakes we made after 9/11.

They are often so determined to remain equally respectful of both sides that inconvenient facts get omitted. At least with Trump, they've been reporting his lies by saying he "falsely claimed X" or "said X without evidence".
