From: The bottom line
20 years ago, after 9/11, the US invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do with the attacks.
It had to be quick, and the invading US forces would be “welcomed as liberators,” according to the neoconservative architects of the 2003 Iraq War.
But, in fact, that war would become a turning point for the US and the world.
Historian Andrew Bacevich and journalist Jonathan Landay tell host Steve Clemons that the effects of the war continue to unfold today, calling into question the credibility of the “rules-based world order,” exposing the limits of what can be achieved with military force and making people question what Washington is thinking. when he talks about “promoting democracy”.
