LOSING A WAR THAT'S WORTH WINNING. The evening news broke of David Halberstam's death, my mother, who had done some work with his then-wife, Polish actress Elzbieta Czyzewska, in 1967, wrote me with this recollection:
They gave a big party one night where I talked politics with H. and he said about Vietnam, �This war is worth winning, but it can�t be won.�
That�s a good epitaph for the U.S. in Iraq too.
It's also not a bad answer for those looking for a response to questions about what Harry Reid said.
