Sin of the Century

Since I posted my blog entry earlier this morning Eliot Spitzer resigned. It was the right thing to do. We probably all agree that his actions were reprehensible and hypocritical.

It's interesting though. Another higher profile American politician led his country into a war that the majority of citizens consider unwinnable and even immoral. To date more than 150,000 Iraqi civilians have died. Over 4,000 U.S. military personnel have died. The cost for the war will be between 2 and 3 trillion dollars. That's trillion, not billion. The American economy is in tatters, in part because of the war, and there is no money for a health care system.

What is the greater moral crime? What is the greater sin?
