As long as events in the real world appear to be spiraling beyond his control, the urge to seek a fresh start is going to be strong.
The United States invaded Iraq to erase a threat that was misrepresented, and now the only people who want us to remain there, contrary to the misrepresentations of Bush and Dick Cheney, are the political "leaders" the United States forcibly installed.
