To Change



Changing your mind, deciding that you want to take a different route, not persisting on a path because you started that way—

Changing your mind, applying the brakes when you recognize the futility of your position—

takes guts. We've seen politicians adhere to a position even when the temper of the country dictates a change.

In the past week I've seen or read stories about soldiers suffering the after effects of combat. I've seen photos of soldiers who left limbs thousands of miles away. And I read about the administration wanting to send more troops to Afghanistan. But now I detect that there may be a change.

Mr. President changing your mind is a strength when the handwriting on the wall shows the futility of a decision.
