| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Iraq War teaches many things, but near the top of the list of lessons that Americans ought to learn (or relearn) is this: It's not a black-and-white world. Statecraft is not a contest pitting innocence against evil. It never has been and it never will be. Any nation choosing to ignore this fundamental reality courts disappointment at the very least and may well invite full-fledged disaster. |
