Comment on A Former Diplomat Explains Why Our Third War In Iraq Is Doomed

A Former Diplomat Explains Why Our Third War In Iraq Is Doomed

This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website. I wanted to offer a wry chuckle before we headed into the heavy stuff about Iraq, so I tried to start this article with a suitably ironic formulation. You know, a déjà-vu-all-over-again kinda thing. I even thought about telling you how, in 2011, I contacted a noted author to blurb my book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People, and he presciently declined, saying sardonically, "So you're gonna be the one to write the last book on failure in Iraq?" I couldn't do any of that.
