Self-correcting? What? It wasn't MY fault, it was.. someone.. else's..! I didn't KNOW there was no plan. I didn't ask, but I assumed they MUST have one, so it's not MY fault!
etc etc.. Sadly, politicians These Days™ have no sense of responsibility and will not resign unless they are cornered by angry mobs with torches and pitch-forks. Also, the public is too apathetic to bother paying attention to any real news that takes longer to digest than a 30 second campaign ad. We are aboard a sinking ship.

Don't worry, practice makes perfect, right? I'm sure the Iran invasion will turn out significantly less terribly, and after that we may even do decently when we invade North Korea. It's only a matter of time before the neo-cons and their ilk perfect their tactics.
