Was The Iraq War Worth It?
A very brief analysis from the author of "Fiasco."
With the twentieth anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq coming up, you may see Bush Administration veterans and even others arguing that it was all worthwhile after all, and that American motives were honorable.
When you see such assertions, here are four questions to keep in mind:
How many Iraqis died? (They won’t know.)
How many Americans, including contractors, died? (Ditto.)
How did the invasion strengthen Iran and how will that change the region?
How did the invasion undercut Americans’ belief in the competence and honesty of their own government?
