Sunday night on cspans q a, Washington Post National Security reporter Walter Pinkus on the situation in the middle east and his opinion on the 2003 invasion of iraq. I think one of the things about the Bush Administration and paul wolfowitz, who never claimed to be an expert on the middle east or on iraq, and proved it, and historys proved it is that we look at things from our own point of view and get deceived by it. You can go back to vietnam is a great example of the first time we sort of did it openly, but we have a history of trying to think other people are like us or want our standards, and the world is different.
