According to 'L.A. Mayor Regrets Anti-War Petition':

A day after signing a students' petition labeling the war in Iraq "unjust," Mayor James Hahn backtracked and said he doesn't believe the conflict is unjust after all.

"Yesterday I signed a petition prepared and presented to me by sixth graders at Florence Nightingale Middle School," Hahn said in a statement Tuesday. "I regret that I did not read it word for word before I signed.

"I do not agree that this is an 'unjust' war. This is the time to support our troops and pray for their swift and safe return."

Now, my first reaction was "What a wanker!" But, that's wrong, and I regret my outburst.
