"I believe history will forever see this as one of the biggest foreign policy mistakes in our history, certainly up there with Vietnam." Yup. Mistakes Were Made: America's Five Biggest Foreign-Policy Fiascoes Greatest Fiasco: The Invasion of Iraq, 2003. On the question of whether this was a discretionary initiative, there can be no longer any real debate. Iraq’s Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction, nor did he have any serious connection to Islamist fundamentalists such as those who had attacked the American homeland on September 11, 2001. In other words, he was not the enemy. And, when his rule was upended and his country destroyed, it was inevitable that jihadist Islam would exploit the resulting chaos. nationalinterest.org
