I guess Kerry is using it...I don't know, maybe his camp started it. But it is an ugly use of words. Like saying "If the rapist had shown a romantic side, then...." Rape cannot be done RIGHT. WAR can't be "DONE RIGHT"! And don't say "well we know what he means". This war was an unprecedented, unprovoked, unconstitutional hostile invasion of a sovereign country based on lies and propaganda. So what does "done right" mean: that the lies and propaganda were just executed poorly??? I mean if an unjust war can be done right, then that can only mean that the foundation of propaganda was handled wrong. Meaning there is a "right" way of going about doing that. Oh I know, here it comes: "NO! He means he would have used the UN and built a coalition!" Based on what?? Better, more expertly executed propaganda?? Since Kerry really seems to enjoy answering yes or no FRAMED questions, here is one - Yes or no: Would you still have voted for invading had the UN not bought the lies for invading, and the rest of the world said NO? Would you still have invaded? Yes or no? I guess the answer from the rationalizers of this meme would be, "Well, everyone just needed to be finessed by a pro, and they would have come along." LOOK: Finessed by a "statesman" to get the rest of the fence-sitters to come along to go wage an unjust war is NO BETTER than a cowboy who rides rough shod over world opinion and gets to wage his unjust war. Not in the end. Saying Saddam is bad would NEVER have been enough to get the rest of the world to go along. Which means SOMETHING ELSE would need to be proffered. Something false, deceptive, and undemocratic. No one could have finessed sane fence-sitters on the only fact - that Saddam is bad - that could have been used to justify invasion and occupation. It would never have been enough. So when the rest of the sane world said "NO!" after offering your only justification for war (Saddam is bad), would you have still invaded? YES OR NO???? If you think I am FRAMING this question, and that indeed there were better reasons than the weak one I give, please do tell what they are (were)? And if you agree with me, how do you lurch into this "done right" meme? "Done right". I'm sick of hearing that and the word "war" in the same sentence.
