My friend Steve points out that I wrote about our soldiers dying in "Vietnam" when I should have written "Iraq" in an item called "A Whiff of Something Positive, May 18."
They are not identical situations - Vietnam and Iraq - though they have lots in common; most importantly the murder of innocents courtesy of leaders whose ignorance is matched only by their arrogance.
None of that excuses me, though. I beg your pardon.
