Lessons learned: the Iraq invasion / Bacevich, Andrew J; Diehl, Jackson; Hayden, Michael; Laqueur, Walter

Laqueur, Walter	Journal Article

Publication	2013.
Summary/Abstract	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.
