The War in (or on) Iraq

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, while mainstream American media portray the war as the outcome of the initial "Iraqi Freedom" campaign, others around the world, and even in America, are wont to sanctify the war with such a blameless preposition. The author points out that, since the end of World War II, the United States has exhibited little formal consent to international constraints that might curtail its capitalistic, democratic or marketplace spread; likewise, the heyday of Cold War politics begot a Pentagon policed not by Congress or cooperative coalitions, but instead by its own generals and White House affiliates. The paper concludes that the fundamental basis of the democracy that Bush claims to spread with purpose to the fledgling Iraqi republic is rooted in an informed voter insured by a free press; the greatest loss of the War in Iraq has been the demise of that institution, lost to hard words from Washington.

From the Paper:

"The first to side with the Bush administration were the British, who reviewed the same evidence as did the American Congress regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction and came to the supportive conclusion to join Bush in Iraq. As anti-war furor continued to grow in America as the election campaign blossomed, the British saw a six-month delay on the same absolute: the evidence with which the United States presented the case for war was faulty. Recently, the secretive Downing Street memo came to press, revealing one of many indications that that the Bush Administration misled the international community on the way to war."
