It is a genuine concern about the direction of this country. And it is echoed by others. Let me give three quotes. Crossfire host Tucker Carlson said recently, and I think many Americans have observed him on PBS and Crossfire. He said, ``I think it is a total nightmare and disaster. I am ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it.'' William Buckley, an icon within the conservative movement said, ``With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein was not the kind of extraterritorial menace that was assumed by the administration 1 year ago. If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war.''
